Key fobs are an electronic device that serves many functions packed into a compact lightweight package. The technology is more advanced than ever before, offering car owners a variety of features they might not even be aware of.

Modern cars come with key fobs that unlock or lock doors and turn on the engine remotely. Many also are able to fold the side mirrors - a feature that is especially useful in the case of an pickup truck or SUV that has large side mirrors.
