A key fob is an electronic device that consists of a computer chip as well as an aluminum shell. When it comes close to the reader of the fob, the copper coils on both sides of the fob are energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. The energy is then transmitted to the microcomputer in the fob, which then transmits a unique number that serves as your identity credential.
The key fob will then be shown to the reader so that the key fob's number stored in the memory can be matched. This is referred to as "key matching" and is used by the security system in the vehicle to verify that you are the owner of the car. After being matched, the reader can then begin the engine and open the doors.
