Remote Fobs

A key fob, or small electronic device, allows you to unlock your vehicle without a physical key.

The receiver interprets the code and decides what action to perform.

Modern car key fobs connect to the computer onboard of the vehicle by using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads a signal from the keyfob and seeks an appropriate code to match one that has been preprogrammed. When the code is found the system will either open the door or start the engine.
