Key Fob

A key fob is a small device that has an electronic chip, a battery, and a metal key shell. When the fob is near a reader, the copper coils located on both sides of it are energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This power is then sent to the microcomputer in the fob that transmits a unique number, which is your identity card.

The key fob is then presented to the reader so that it can be matched to the number stored in its memory. This process is referred to as "key matching" and is used by the security system of the vehicle to verify that you are the legitimate owner of the vehicle. After being matched, the reader can then start the engine and open the doors.
