What Is A Key Fob? Is It The Same as a Keyless Entry Remote?

Posted by Keyless Entry Remote on Sep 3rd 2014

Alright, we get it. “Key fob” is a pretty silly sounding term, and when you see it, you might find yourself scratching your head and saying,  “What the heck is that?” Well, it’s the same thing as a keyless entry remote, which is itself a pretty awful name, too. So what are these things?



Well, they’re the wireless remotes that come with your car that allow you to do a wide variety of things. At its most basic level, a key fob (or keyless entry remote) will allow you unlock your car doors at a distance. There are other functionalities that key fobs can have as well, these include:


  • ·         Opening the trunk – a useful feature when you have a pile of grocery bags in your hands.
  • ·         Opening sliding doors – very popular on mini vans, this is an excellent way to let the kids hop into the car.
  • ·         Sounding the car alarm – a security feature that’s saved more than a few lives over the years.
  • ·         Starting the engine – when it’s cold outside and you need to give your car a little bit of time to warm up, you can do so from inside.


As you can see, a key fob can be an incredibly convenient little piece of technology. If you have a car that comes with this functionality, then that’s probably something you already appreciate.


Now, there’s one thing to note about key fobs (or keylessentry remotes): Sometimes they get lost, broken or even stolen. When this happens, people are often tempted to think that they won’t be able to replace their key fob without an expensive trip to the dealership. Nothing could be further from the truth.
