FAQs

What Is a Key Fob?

It is a tiny remote control with an RFID chip and an antenna inside. It uses radio frequencies to communicate with another RFID tag inside a reader device, which is attached to a locking system. Each fob chip is designed to transmit specific RFID tag information. When a user presses the button, the fob transmits an RFID signal to the reader device. If the RFID information transmitted from the smart keys matches what the reader is learned to accept, the system will open the door.

Do Car Keys Come Preprogrammed? 

Car fobs need to be programmed with the vehicle or a working fob present. A physical key can be cut using the VIN (vehicle identification number), a fob does not have a registered corresponding electronic code that corresponds to the VIN. The signal must be captured to be replicated.
