Remote Fobs

A key fob, also known as a small electronic device, lets you unlock your car without a physical key. It can also be used as an additional remote for other devices, such as the garage door opener or home security system. Key fobs operate by using radio frequencies. They are similar to the transmitters of remote-control toys. When you hit the fob's button, it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the codes and signals how to act.

Modern car key fobs utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer. The computer interprets the signal from the key fob and searches for an exact code that matches the preprogrammed code. If the code is matched the system will either open the door or start the engine.

Other types of vehicles also use the technology, such as planes and trucks, buses/coaches, and tanks. Numerous manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their cars and make it easier to open doors or start the engine with just a pressing of one button.

In general, you can get the correct battery for your remote from a big-box retailer or hardware stores. The owner's manual, or the manufacturer's website should have instructions for replacing the battery.
