Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small electronic device that lets you unlock your car without keys that are physically present.

Key fobs operate using radio frequencies, similar to the transmitters found in a remote-control toy. When you press a button on the fob, it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the code and determines what action to take.

Modern car key fobs use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer. The computer receives a signal from the keyfob, and searches for an appropriate code to match one programmed. When the code is identified it will open the door or start the engine.

Other types of vehicles are also using the technology, including planes and trucks, buses/coaches, and tanks. Many car manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles. This makes it simpler to start the engine or open doors with the push of a button.

The convenience of a key fob could be dangerous, if you're not paying attention. A CR auto reporter once walked past her car parked Honda Accord only to find all the windows shut. This is because the key fob was sending an alert to activate the automatic windows.

A remote that is not secure or connected can send the incorrect signal, leading to malfunctions such as an overheated car engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.

Keep spare keys handy in the event that your key fob loses power or gets damaged. It's also an ideal idea to replace the battery on a regular basis to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge too fast. In general, you can get the correct battery for your remote from an online retailer or hardware store. The owner's manual, or the manufacturer's website should have instructions for replacing the battery.
