They are similar to the transmitters of remote-control toys. When you press the button on the key fob the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver in your vehicle or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and determines the appropriate action to take.

Modern car key fobs use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer. The computer receives the signal from the key fob, looking for an exact code that matches a preprogrammed one. Once the code has been found it will open the door or start the engine.
