A key fob is an electronic device made up of a computer chip as well as a metal shell. If the fob is located near an reader the copper coils on both sides activate and convert the radio frequency signal to electricity. This power is then sent to the microcomputer inside the fob that transmits a unique number that serves as your identification card.
The key fob will then be shown to the reader so that the key fob's number stored in the memory can be compared. This process, known as "key-matching" is used by the security system of the vehicle in order to verify that the owner is authorized. Once the reader has been matched, he can then start the engine, and then open the doors.
