Best Answer

Car keys that have remote controls for locking and unlocking the car use radio wave band electromagnetic radiation as their carrier, typically in the hundreds of megahertz. E.g. in Europe, most car keyfobs use 433 MHz.

Some keyfobs may also use Infrared radiation as a carrier, similar to TV remote controls.

In both cases a code is transmitted to command the car to unlock or lock. In code-hopping systems, this code changes each time the keyfob is used to stop criminals from capturing the code and retransmitting it to unlock a veichle.

A car key typically uses radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation to communicate with the car's locking system. This type of EM radiation allows for wireless communication between the key fob and the car.
