Remote Fobs
A key fob, also known as a small electronic device, allows you to unlock your vehicle without having a physical key. It also acts as a remote control for other things, like the garage door, or a home security system. Key fobs operate using radio frequencies, just like the transmitters of a remote control toy. When you press the fob's button, it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and decides the appropriate action to take.
Modern car key fobs communicate with the onboard computer of the vehicle using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads a signal from the keyfob and looks for a code that matches one preprogrammed. If the code matches, the system opens the door or starts the engine.
Other types of vehicles are also using the technology, such as planes and trucks as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Many manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their vehicles which makes it easier to open doors or start the engine with just a push of the button.

Generally speaking, you can locate the correct battery for your key fob at a hardware retailer or a big-box store. There are instructions for replacing the battery within the owner's manual, or on the site of the manufacturer.
