Key Fobs

Modern key fobs provide numerous convenience and security benefits. They can replace or enhance traditional car keys and can manage more than only locking doors. They can start the engine, activate the alarm and perform other functions.

The key fob communicates with receiver inside the vehicle by using radio signals. When you press a button on the key fob, it transmits an appropriate code to the receiver, which then responds by performing the function you want. Key fobs are also popular with commercial building owners who can incorporate them into a larger access control system. They can monitor who is allowed in or out, and they can stop fobs that have been taken or lost.

Key fobs, as with any electronic device, could malfunction. They may be damaged or lose their signal if they're jostled in pockets and purses. Although they can endure some abuse, they aren't indestructible. In the end, they are made of plastic and metal.

If your key fobs are not working, you may need to replace the battery. Make sure you use the correct battery and refer to the owner's manual to find out how to replace it correctly. Be sure to follow all other steps needed for reprogramming and calibration.

Keyless Entry

Modern keyless entry systems use rolling code technology to protect against security breaches. It is important to keep in mind that even this technology isn't completely secure. A burglar could employ a technique known as "replay attack" to send a message which is recorded by the car's receiver. After the message has been recorded by the receiver, a rogue device could transmit the same message to the vehicle's receiver and gain access to the secured property.

Depending on the vehicle's make and model, it may be possible to program new keys on your own or you might need to have an automotive locksmith complete the task for you. Certain car manufacturers offer an onboard program specifically designed for them for their vehicles, while others require you have an advanced programmer connected to the OBD2 connector.

The most common method to program new keys for cars is to place the fob of the key in the ignition and turn it on in a particular order. When the car is in "programming mode," one or more buttons on the fob are pressed to transmit the digital identification code to the computer. The computer then saves the code and then takes the car out of programming mode.

Some manufacturers require that you have a special programmer to program key fobs. These are expensive and are difficult to use for the average person. For this reason, it is generally better to let a professional locksmith or dealer handle the task for you.


To set up a keyless entry car, enter your vehicle from the driver's seat. Then close all doors, except the driver's. This will stop the system from locking your doors while you attempt to program the key. Hold the button on the fob you wish to activate when the ignition is turned on and the other keys you want to program are nearby. The warning light will flash twice.
