Remote Keys
Certain vehicles use remote keyless entry that unlocks the doors and trunk without the need for a physical key. To accomplish this, the driver inserts their key in their pocket and moves within a distance of around one millimeter to the door or trunk, where they hit the Request Switch. The car detects the signal and sends a response, which unlocks the doors or opens the trunk. When the driver returns to their car they can use the Request Switch to lock the vehicle or start the engine if they're inside.
The keys transmit a 40-bit number when they are pressed, and the receiver in the car looks for that code to decide the best course of action. If someone discovers your key fob in a bag or purse and they find it, they can "capture" the code, retransmit it, and open the car even when the original transmitter's battery is dead. To stop this, a few carmakers have added a mechanical key to the key fob that can be used if the electronic key isn't working.

Some key fobs feature additional functions that can be activated by pressing multiple buttons, for example, the ability to open all windows or open the sunroof using just one button. This function is available on key fobs of Volvo SUVs and Ford trucks, for instance. It's not always marked but it is possible to trigger it by pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the fob simultaneously (within 10 seconds) while holding the unlock button down until all windows are opened up or the sunroof has been opened.
Some carmakers, such as Tesla and Hyundai, use keyless entry without a fob. Instead, you can use a smartphone app to lock or unlock your vehicle. These types of systems are also known as digital keys or phone-askey apps which are generally cheaper than traditional key fobs. However, they may have some issues of their own.
