There’s also the option of having a transponder chip built into the key fob for additional security.

The chip transmits an electrical signal that matches the car’s anti-theft code to the engine control unit, and when it’s in agreement the car will start.

When the key is inserted, the chip emits a signal which is picked up by both the immobiliser system as well as the ECU. This disables the engine of your car to stop theft.

Remote Fobs

A key fob, also known as a small electronic device, lets you unlock your vehicle without a 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 transmitters of remote-control toys. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter transmits a message to a receiver within your vehicle or other device. The receiver interprets the code and determines what actions to take.

Modern car key fobs connect to the computer onboard of the vehicle via radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads a signal from the keyfob, and looks for an appropriate code to match one that has been preprogrammed. When the code is found to match the system opens the door or begins the engine.

Other types of vehicles also use the technology, such as planes and trucks buses/coaches, tanks, and planes. Many car manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their vehicles. This makes it easier to start the engine or open the doors with the push of a button.

Apart from keeping an eye on the battery, you should ensure that your key fob is in an easy view of its buttons and an encrypted connection to the car’s onboard computer. A loose or disconnected key fob may transmit a incorrect signal, resulting in problems like an overheated engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.

Keep spare keys in the event that your key fob loses power or is damaged. It’s also recommended to replace the battery regularly to prevent it from losing its charge too quickly. Generally, you can locate the correct battery for your key fob at a local hardware store or big-box retailer. The owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s website should contain instructions on replacing it.
