A key fob is a device that is made up of a computer chip as well as a metal shell. When it is close to a fob reader, the copper coils on both sides of the fob are energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy then flows to the microcomputer inside the fob, and it transmits a unique number that serves as a credential for identification.
The key fob is then presented to the reader so that it can be matched with the number stored in its memory. This process is referred to as "key matching" and is utilized by the vehicle's security system to confirm that you are the authorized owner of the car. Once the reader has been matched, he can then start the engine and open the doors.
