Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small device that allows you unlock your car without using the physical key. It also serves as a remote control for other things, like the garage door or a home security system.

The receiver interprets the codes and signals what to do.

Modern car key fobs connect to the computer onboard of the vehicle via radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads the signal from the keyfob, and searches for a code that matches the one that has been preprogrammed. When the code is found it will open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also being utilized in other kinds of vehicles, including trucks, tractors, airplanes buses/coaches, tanks and even trains. Many car manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their cars. This makes it simpler to start the engine or open doors with just a push of a button.
