A key fob is a device that is made up of a computer chip and an aluminum shell. When the fob is placed near a reader and the copper coils on both sides of it stimulate and convert the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer inside the fob, and it transmits an individual number that serves as a credential for identification.
The key fob is then shown to the reader so that it can be matched with the number that is stored in its memory. This process, also known as "key-matching" is utilized by the security system of the vehicle to confirm that the owner is authorized. Once matched, the reader can then begin the engine and open the doors.
