Remote Fobs

A key fob, also known as a small electronic device, allows you to unlock your vehicle without having a physical key. It also functions as a remote control for other 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 code to a receiver in your vehicle or another device. The receiver interprets the codes and signals what to do.

Modern car key fobs communicate with the onboard computer of the vehicle by using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer receives a signal from the keyfob and seeks a code that matches the one that has been preprogrammed. If the code matches, the system opens the door or begins the engine.

Other types of vehicles are also using the technology, such as planes and trucks as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their cars which makes it easier to open doors or start the engine at a push of a button.

In general, you can get the correct battery for your remote from the big box retailer or at a hardware stores.
