Remote Fobs

A key fob, which is a small electronic device, lets you unlock your vehicle without having a physical key.

The receiver interprets the codes and signals to decide what to do.

Modern car key fobs utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer receives a signal from the keyfob and searches for an appropriate code to match one programmed. When the code is matched the system will either open the door or start the engine.
