• As with many modern vehicles nowadays, they are
  controlled with a key fob a small electronic
  device that acts as a remote control and provides
  access to an automobile without the need for a
  key at all. Some car keys have a chip embedded in
  the plastic head meaning that without the key,
  the car cannot be started and these are known
  as transponder key fobs. While most auto
  locksmiths (or general locksmiths who also deal
  with autos), are able to replace a transponder
  key fob too, in this article, we will be
  referring only to standard car key fobs.

• How does a car key fob work?
• Containing a tiny device that sends and receives
  secure signals from the car to lock its doors, or
  unlock them, a car key fob enables access to a
  vehicle without the need for a key to be inserted
  into the lock.
• Some car key fobs have features such as panic
  buttons, that set off the car alarm, or that
  enable you to control the opening and closing of
  the car windows and trunk.

• What happens if your car key fob stops working or
  you lose it?
• Previously, if you broke your car key fob, lost
  it or had it stolen, the only way to get a car
  key fob replacement was to go to an auto
  dealership. Auto dealerships are notorious for
  charging exorbitant amounts for such a service,
  and to top it all off, you often have to wait
  days, if not weeks, for a replacement car key fob
  to arrive.

• Nowadays, theres a much quicker and more
  affordable way to get a car key fob replacement,
  and thats through an experienced auto locksmith.
  A certified auto locksmith (or indeed, any
  licensed locksmith with the necessary training
  and skill to work with car keys and ignitions)
  has the equipment and necessary electronics to
  swiftly install and program a car key fob, and at
  a fraction of the cost that a dealership
  typically charges.

• Can you get a car key fob if your car doesnt
  have one?
• While most modern cars come with car key fobs,
  some makes and models dont. If your particular
  model of automobile doesnt have a car key fob,
  you can ask a licensed auto locksmith to provide
  you with one and install the required component
  in your car. If youve lost your car key fob or
  have purchased a used car that doesnt have one,
  the locksmith will be able to give you a
  replacement fob and/or reprogram an existing one
  for enhanced security.
