Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
1. Radio technology
Radio technology is a comprehensive term covering all areas of cordless telecommunication such as telephone, radio, television. Transmission is by means of electromagnetic waves.
Due to the fact that the radio waves are not limited to one single direction and have a wider range than the infrared waves, this technology is also being increasingly employed in remote controls.
The same remote-control technology is used in motor vehicle construction as, for example, in construction site cranes, in model construction, alarm systems, garage-door opening systems etc.
These remote controls are operated on the same approved frequency (315 MHz or 433.92 MHz).
