Remote Fobs

A key fob, which is a small electronic device, lets you unlock your car without a physical key. It also acts as an additional remote control for things like the garage door or a 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 message to a receiver in your vehicle or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and decides the appropriate actions to take.

Modern car key fobs use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer receives a signal from the keyfob, and seeks a code that matches one preprogrammed. When the code is found to match, the system opens the door or starts the engine.

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

While the convenience of a key fob for your car is appealing, it can be risky if you don't pay to your surroundings. A CR auto reporter once walked up to her parked Honda Accord only to find all the windows down. The key fob sends an indication that triggers the automatic windows.

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