remote FOB???

Can anyone tell me what the remote FOB system is exactly and what FOB stands for?

Is it just the key with the alarm controls on it or something else?

Thanks.

The definition of a Keyless FOB

A keyless FOB is a FOB that obviously doesn't have a key yet, because he probably hasn't gotten around to earning enough money to own anything that requires some form of security. BTW, you could have easily search GOOGLE to find out what a FOB is... I mean, come on. If you still want to know what a FOB is, continue reading....

FOB (Fresh Off tha Boat)

- You were not born in America
- You know who Leon, Aaron, Sammi, Hikki, and Kangta are. In fact, you have seen them at Atlantic City or Las Vegas recently
- You speak your native language fluently and so do all your friends
- You do not have any non-Asian friends
- Your parents do not speak any English
- When you speak English, you like to make everything plural
- You get extremely good grades in school
- You cannot dance
- Your fashion sense comes from whatever country you're from and you incorporate nothing from American fashion into your wardrobe

SuperFob

- Your command of the English language is minimal and you don't care
- You like dim sum chicken feet
- You do not own a single CD, VCD, Video game, or DVD that isn't bootlegged
- Your only hangout is Chinatown
- All the lights in your house are fluorescent
- You dry your cloths outside your window
- You need a haircut
- You either smell like cigarettes or food

Gangsta Fob

- You have shot another Asian
- Your favorite hangout is a pool hall
- When you talk, you sound like a cross between a Fob and an urban black kid
- Your hair looks silly, but no one will tell you because you'll shoot them
- You have a serious gambling problem
- You are a Rice-boy (See below), but your mods are cheap and are never painted to match the rest of your car
- No one tells you your rice ride looks cheap because you'll shoot them

Rice-Boy FOB

- You drive an Asian import. Usually a Honda or Acura
- Your souped up car (known as a Rice-ride or Rice-rocket) is unrecognizable from its original stock form
- Your exhaust pipe is big enough for your head to fit in
- The spoiler on your car looks like it was made by Boeing
- The interior of your car also looks like it was designed by Boeing
- You always drive like you are racing someone
- You are not afraid of dying in a crash, but you are afraid of speed bumps and parking lot on-ramps
- The only other person besides yourself who can sit in your car is your 105 lbs asian girlfriend. If anyone else sits in your car, the entire bottom of it will be touching the ground
- Even though your car is a Honda, it goes faster and is worth more than a Lotus Esprit
- If you drive a Civic, your dream car is a Supra. If you drive a Supra, your dream car is a Skyline (which you can never have). Poor Rice-boy.

was a joke... I actually did a search on "FOB" looking for something remotely humorous... and I found that. Guess it's not as funny as I thought it was.

it doesnt seem to stand for anything, just that anything that can hang from a key chain can be called a fob

A key fob is a type of security token: a small hardware device with built-in authentication mechanisms.
