Remote Fobs
A key fob is a small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without using the physical key. It can also function as an additional remote for other devices, like the garage door opener or home security system. Key fobs operate through radio frequencies, just like the transmitters of a remote control toy. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver inside your vehicle or other device. The receiver interprets the code and signals what to do.
Modern car key fobs communicate with the computer onboard of the vehicle via radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads a signal from the keyfob, and looks for a code that matches the one programmed. Once the code is matched, the system opens the door or begins the engine.
Other kinds of vehicles also use the technology, including trucks and tractors, planes, 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 with a simple pressing of the button.
The convenience of a key fob may be dangerous, if you're not paying attention. For instance the owner of a CR auto editor once walked by her parking 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 automatic windows.
You should not only keep an eye on your battery, but also make sure that the key fob is connected to the computer onboard of your car safely. A remote that is not secure or connected could send a wrong signal, which can cause malfunctions such as an overheated car engine or uncontrolled window lowering.
It's a good idea keep spare keys in your pocket in case your key fob runs out of power or becomes damaged. It is also recommended to replace the battery on a regular basis to ensure it does not lose its charge. In general, you can find the correct battery for your remote at a big-box retailer or hardware stores. You can find instructions for replacing the battery within the owner's manual, or on the site of the manufacturer.
