Remote Fobs

A key fob, or small electronic device, lets you unlock your vehicle without having a physical key. It can also be used as a remote for other devices, such as the garage door opener, or the home security system. Key fobs operate through radio frequencies, much like the transmitters found in a remote-control toy. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver within your vehicle or another device. The receiver interprets the code and signals how to act.

Modern car key fobs communicate with the onboard computer of the vehicle using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer receives a signal from the keyfob, and searches for a code that matches one programmed. If the code is found it will open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also being used in other kinds of vehicles, such as airplanes, tractors, trucks, buses/coaches and tanks. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their vehicles, making it easier to open doors and start the engine at a push of the button.

The convenience of a key fob can be dangerous, if you're not paying to your surroundings. For instance the owner of a CR auto editor once walked out to her car parked Honda Accord and found all the windows were down. The key fob transmits an indication that triggers the automatic windows.

You shouldn't just be watching your battery but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the onboard computer of your car safely. A disconnected or loose remote could send a wrong signal, which can cause an issue such as a hot car engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.

Typically, you can locate the correct battery for your key fob in a hardware retailer or a big-box store. The owner's manual or the manufacturer's website should contain instructions on replacing it.
