A key fob is an electronic device made up of a computer chip and an aluminum shell. When the fob is placed near an electronic reader, the copper coils located on both sides of it are energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. The power is then transmitted to the microcomputer within the fob which transmits an unique number that serves as your identity credential.
The key fob will be presented to the reader so that the number stored in the memory can be compared. This process, known as "key-matching" is utilized by the security system of the vehicle to ensure that the owner is authorized. Once the keys are matched then the reader will be able to start the car and open the doors.
