The key fob communicates with receiver inside the vehicle by using radio signals. When you hit a button on the key fob, it transmits an encoded code to the receiver, which in turn responds by performing the desired function. Key fobs are also very popular with commercial building owners, who can integrate them into an access control system. They can monitor who is allowed in or out, and stop fobs that have been stolen or lost.

After the message has been recorded, a malicious device could retransmit the message to the vehicle's receiver and gain access.

Based on the model and make, it may be possible to program new keys on your own, or you may need to have an auto locksmith do it for you. Certain car manufacturers have an onboard program specifically designed for them for their vehicles, while others require you have a sophisticated programmer attached to the OBD2 connector.

The most common method of programming new keys for cars is to insert the fob of the key in the ignition and engage it in a specific order. This puts the car in a "programming mode," and once it is in this mode, one or more fob buttons will be pressed to transmit the digital identity code to the car's computer. The computer stores the code and removes the car from the programming mode.

Certain manufacturers require you to use a specific advanced programer to program key fobs. They are costly and are difficult to use for the average person. It is recommended to delegate the work to an automotive locksmith or dealer.

To begin programming for a car with keyless entry begin by stepping into your vehicle from the driver's seat. Then close all the doors, with the exception of the driver's. This will prevent the system from locking your doors as you attempt to program the key. Press and hold the button on the fob you want to activate when the ignition is turned on and the other keys you want to program are nearby. The danger light will flash twice.
