The key fob uses a tiny transmitter to send an audio signal that is short-range to a receiver within your vehicle. Its function is to allow your vehicle to recognize the key fob, unlock its doors when you come close to it, and begin when you push the ignition button.

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency as the fob might interfere with the signal. This can include garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring systems. It's even possible that an RF transmitter within your home might interfere with the fob's signals, though this would be difficult to determine without the assistance of a qualified test.
