How to Get the Most Out of Your Lexus Key Fob
Your Lexus key fob has hardware with vehicle-based sensors that allow you to lock or unlock your door as well as start the push button ignition. It may malfunction due exposure to elements of the weather as well as daily use and even minor damage.

Keyless Entry
Key fobs are small remote control devices that have RFID chips, antennae and other parts to provide safe access to a physical object. The device transmits an RFID signal to the reader, who utilizes it to determine if the device is authorized for access. If the signal matches the one that the reader has been programmed to accept then the system opens the door or permits entry into an area.

Certain of these features are available only through specialized hardware, which can be activated by technicians. Others are as easy as pressing a key fob button.
