A key fob is a tiny device that is made up of an electronic chip, a battery and a keyshell made of metal. When it gets close to the reader of the fob, the copper coils on both sides of the fob get energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer inside the fob. It transmits a unique number, which is your identity card.
The key fob will then be presented to the reader to ensure that the number stored in the memory can be compared. This process, commonly referred to "key-matching", is used by the security system of the vehicle in order to verify that the owner is authorized. After being matched, the reader can then start the engine and unlock the doors.
