Remote Fobs

A key fob is a small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without the physical key. It can also function as a remote for other devices, including the garage door opener or the home security system. Key fobs work through radio frequencies. They are similar to transmitters of remote-control toys. When you press the button on the key fob the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver within your vehicle or any other device. The receiver interprets the codes and signals what to do.

Modern car key fobs connect to the computer onboard of the vehicle via radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer receives a signal from the keyfob and searches for a code that matches one preprogrammed. Once the code has been identified, the system will open the door or start the engine.

Other types of vehicles are also utilizing the technology, including planes and trucks buses/coaches, tanks, and planes. Many manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles, making it easier to open doors and start the engine at a press of the button.

While the convenience of a key fob for your car is appealing, it can be risky if you fail to pay to your surroundings. For instance an CR auto editor once walked out to her parked Honda Accord and found all the windows were shut. The reason for this is because the key fob had sent an indication to turn on the auto windows.

You shouldn't just keep an eye on your battery, but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the onboard computer of your car safely. A disconnected or loose key fob can transmit the incorrect signal, resulting in problems like an engine that is overheated or an uncontrolled lowering of the window.

In general, you can purchase the right battery for your remote from an online retailer or hardware stores. The owner's manual, or the manufacturer's website should have instructions on how to replace it.
