A key fob is a device that is made up of a computer chip as well as an aluminum shell. When the fob is placed near a reader and the copper coils on both sides energize and turn the radio frequency signal to electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer inside the fob that transmits a unique number that is your identity card.
The key fob is then presented to the reader so that it can be matched with the number that is stored in its memory. This process is referred as "key matching" and is used by the security system of your vehicle to confirm that you are the legitimate owner of the vehicle. Once matched, the reader can then start the engine, and then open the doors.
