Just hold the key fob next to the reader and depress the start button. The RFID value is read and compared in a similar manner as an actual transmission. However, it may lack some level of full encryption used in a transmitting environment. This does not mean there is no encryption. It just may be less than that used by the transmitter.
Wow; YOU ARE THE MAN, BMWrules7!

Clear and easy to understand; exactly the explanation I was looking for!

Much Thanks! Happy Motoring!
