A key fob is a small electronic device that lets you unlock your car without using a physical key.

They are similar to remote-control toys' transmitters. When you press a button on the fob it sends a message to the receiver in your car or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and decides what action to take.

Modern car key fobs communicate with the onboard computer of the vehicle using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer interprets the signal from the key fob and searches for a specific code that matches the preprogrammed code. Once the code has been found, the system will open the door or start the engine.

Other types of vehicles are also using the technology, including trucks and tractors, planes, buses/coaches, and tanks. Many car manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles. This makes it much easier to start the engine or open doors with just a push of a button.
