They make use of radio frequency identification or RFID. When you press the fob against the reader it sends out a unique frequency which can be recognized and allow access. These systems are typically controlled and monitored from a central computer system which means you can grant different levels of access to different individuals.    You can also utilize a key fob to lock and unlock your car. This is safer than a physical car key, since it is not a risk that anyone could copy the key.

Many locksmiths and auto technicians utilize a device known as the Smart Pro, which is an extremely powerful device for programming that can handle all major brands and models. It is also able to read and program transponder chips, create clone keys and do some OE level programming.
