Remote Fobs
A key fob is a small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without the physical key. It can also be used as remotes for other devices, such as the garage door opener, or the home security system. Key fobs function by using radio frequencies. They are similar to the transmitters of remote-control toys. When you press the button on the key fob the transmitter sends a code to a receiver inside your vehicle or any other device. The receiver interprets the codes and signals how to act.
Modern car key fobs utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer reads the signal from the key fob, looking for a specific code that matches a preprogrammed one. When the code is found to match it opens the door or starts the engine.
The technology is also used in other kinds of vehicles, such as airplanes, tractors, trucks as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Many manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their cars and make it easy to open doors or start the engine with just a press of a button.

Typically, you can find the appropriate battery for your key fob at a hardware store or big-box retailer. The owner's manual, or the manufacturer's site should provide instructions on replacing the battery.
