On a car key, "FOB" typically stands for "Free On Board." However, in the context of a car key, the term "FOB" is often used to refer to the key fob, which is a small electronic device that enhances the functionality of the key.
In the case of a car key fob, "FOB" stands for "Frequency Operated Button" or "Frequency Operated Block." The key fob is equipped with buttons that, when pressed, send radio frequency signals to the car's electronic control unit, allowing the user to perform various functions such as locking or unlocking doors, opening the trunk, and, in some cases, starting the engine.
So, while "FOB" traditionally stands for "Free On Board" in business and shipping terminology, in the automotive context, it refers to the key fob and its electronic features.
