The device is a small, wireless remote control device that interacts with the electronic systems of a car and provides a convenient way for users to access and control certain features from a distance. It combines security with convenience.
Most devices operate using RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification). The device contains a small chip that emits a unique identification code. When you press a button, it sends this code as a signal via radio waves.
Car fobs are typically designed with several buttons, each programmed to perform specific tasks: Locking and Unlocking Doors, Trunk Release, Panic Alarm, Remote Start
In more advanced systems, known as Passive Keyless Entry and Start (PKES), the device doesn’t even need to leave your pocket. When you approach the car, it automatically detects the fob’s presence and allows you to unlock the doors by touching the handle. You can then start the vehicle with a push-button ignition.

We specialize in replacing key fobs for a wide range of vehicle makes and models, including both traditional keyless entry fobs and newer smart key systems.

If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to replace your fob battery.
If your key fob isn’t responding, our technicians can diagnose the issue on-site. Whether it’s a dead battery or a need for reprogramming, we’ll advise the best solution.
Programming key fobs yourself depends on the make and model of your vehicle. Some cars allow owner programming with a specific set of steps, which can usually be found in the owner’s manual. However, many modern vehicles require professional equipment to have programmed key fobs securely. It’s often best to consult a professional locksmith or dealership for this service.
Modern key fobs use rolling code technology, making them very secure. Each time you use the fob, it generates a new, unique code, making it extremely difficult to intercept and replicate.
Of course, no system is entirely immune to hacking. Newer technologies and encryption methods continually enhance security. Owners should thus be aware of the potential (albeit low) risk and take precautions like not leaving the fob in plain sight or near entryways.

A fob is the actual handheld device that wirelessly performs functions like unlocking the car or starting the engine.

In essence, the key fob is a component of the RKE system.
