When you hit a button on the fob it sends a message to the receiver in your car or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and decides the appropriate actions to take. Modern car key fobs communicate with the computer onboard of the vehicle using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer receives the signal from the key fob, and looks for a specific code that matches a preprogrammed one. When the code is identified the system will either open the door or start the engine. The technology is also used in other types of vehicles, such as trucks, tractors, airplanes as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Many car manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their cars. This makes it easier to start the engine or open the doors with a click of a single button. The convenience of a key fob may be dangerous, if you're not paying attentively.

Generally, you can locate the correct battery for your key fob in a hardware store or a big-box retailer. The owner's manual or the manufacturer's website should have instructions for replacing the battery.
