A key fob is a device that is made up of a computer chip and an aluminum shell. When it comes close to a fob reader, the copper coils on both sides of the fob energize and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity.

The key fob will be displayed to the reader so that the number stored in the memory can be matched. This process is referred as "key matching" and is used by the security system in the vehicle to verify that you are the legitimate owner of the car.
