The key fob uses radio signals to communicate with a receiver installed in the vehicle. When you press the button on the keyfob, it sends the code to the receiver, which in turn fulfills the function you desire. Commercial building owners also use key fobs to integrate them with an overall system of access control. They can keep track of who enters and exits and can prevent fobs from being stolen or lost. Key fobs, as with any other electronic device, may malfunction. Because they are constantly tossed around in pockets and purses, they can become damaged or lose their signal.

However it's important to remember that even this technology has its limitations. A thief could use a technique known as “replay attack” to transmit a message that is recorded by the car's receiver. Once the message is recorded by the receiver, a rogue device could transmit the same message to the vehicle's receiver, and gain access to the protected property. Depending on your vehicle's model and make it could be possible to program new keys on your own or you may have to have an auto locksmith do it for you. Certain car manufacturers offer an onboard programing process, while others require you to have an advanced programming device connected to the OBD2 port.

When the car is in “programming mode,” one or more buttons on the fob are pressed to transmit the digital identification code to the computer. The computer then saves this code and removes the car out of programming mode. Certain manufacturers require you to use a specific advanced programer to program key fobs. These are expensive and hard to use by the average person. It's best to leave the task to an auto locksmith or dealer.

With the ignition key and the other keys you want to program in the vicinity, push and hold the button on the fob you wish to activate until the hazard lights flash twice.
