What Is Car Key Fob?

Most people simply use their car keys without getting deeper into knowing what type of keys they are and how they work. To understand what car key fob programming is, it pays to know what a key fob is and how they work. This can help you distinguish a car locksmith who understands their work well from an unscrupulous one.

A car key fob is a remote control device found on the control head of a key and grants the car owner remote keyless entry. when your car’s lock system produces that comforting chirp when unlocking or locking, it’s all due to the key fob. The technology around key fobs is however complex than you can imagine.

Car key fobs have an antenna and an RFID chip that make it possible to communicate through radio frequency with the receiver in your car. They don’t have a visible car key to start the ignition. Keys fobs can’t stop thieves from stealing a car, but they can prolong the time required, giving you ample time to stop them.

Types of Car Key Fobs That Locksmith Empire Can Program

Do you know the type of key fob your car uses? It pays to know the type of car key fobs that are there and how a professional auto locksmith can program your car key fob.

1. Basic key fob with a chip

The basic key fobs resemble the traditional mechanical key. It cannot open car doors or even start the ignition from far but uses an electromagnetic system which decreases possible car theft. It has an RFID verification system that will confirm that the keys are for the car in question.

2. Transponder key fobs

It’s similar to the basic key fob with a chip. Transponder keys require a particular signal to unlock and operate a car’s ignition. If the plastic head breaks, your car won't start. Most of the cars from the late 90s won't start the engine if the key’s plastic part is separated from the metallic blade part.

Remote keyless entry

This key fob allows you to unlock your car doors remotely but can't start the car. Keyless entry has a similar RFID technology as the transponder key to only allow those with the key to unlock the car.

Push button key fobs

These key fobs allow you to start your car from a distance. It works usually 20ft to 30 ft away, making it ideal when out grocery shopping. Push button key fobs are also ideal when at work when you need to warm up the car in a cold season before leaving the building.
