Fixed code transponders have fixed codes that cannot be copied, whereas rolling code transponders modify their codes every time they are used. This makes it hard for anyone to copy your car keys.

Remote Keys
Certain vehicles use remote keyless entry, which opens the trunk and doors without the use of a physical key. To do this, drivers put their keys in their pockets and move within the distance of a millimeter of the door handle or trunk, where they press the Request Switch. The car senses the signal and sends a response that unlocks the doors or opens the trunk. When the driver returns to the vehicle and presses the Request Switch again to lock it, or to start the engine if inside the cabin.
The keys transmit a code of 40 bits when pressed. The receiver inside the vehicle searches for this code to determine the next action to take. If someone happens to find your key fob in a bag or purse, they can "capture" the code, retransmit it and open the car, even in the event that the original transmitter's power source is dead. Certain car makers have added an extra mechanical key to their key fobs that can be used if the electronic key isn't working.

This method isn't the same as a remote, making it difficult to share or lend your car.
Certain key fobs include additional functions that can be activated by pressing several buttons, like the ability to roll down all windows or open a sunroof by pressing just one button. For instance, the key fobs for Volvo SUVs and Ford pickups have this feature. It's usually not labeled however it can be activated by pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the fob at the same time (within 10 seconds) while pressing the unlock button until all windows are closed or the sunroof is opened.
Certain car makers, like Tesla and Hyundai--use keyless entry that isn't fob-based. You can lock and unlock your car using a smartphone application. These are also known as digital keys or key apps for phones and are usually cheaper than traditional fobs. However, they can have their own challenges. For instance some of these apps aren't protected enough to protect your vehicle's data from hackers.
