Key fobs are tiny device that is made up of a computer chip, battery, and a keyshell made of metal. When it gets close to a fob reader, the copper coils on both sides of the fob energize and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy then flows into the microcomputer within the fob, which transmits a unique number that acts as a credential for identification.
The key fob will be displayed to the reader so that the information stored in the memory can be compared. This process is known as "key matching" and is utilized by the vehicle's security system to verify that you're the legitimate owner of the car. Once the reader has been matched, he can then start the engine and open the doors.
