Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small device that allows you unlock your car without keys that are physically present.

The receiver interprets the code and signals how to act.

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

The technology is also used in other kinds of vehicles, such as trucks, tractors, airplanes, buses/coaches and tanks. Numerous manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles which makes it easier to open doors or start the engine with just a pressing of one button.
