An FCC ID on a car remote or wireless key fob is the regulatory certification number used to certify the fob (remote) complies to wireless emissions standards. Using the FCC ID, you can lookup the wireless frequency the car remote uses, the radiation you may be absorbing when pressing buttons on the remote, and other technical information about the device. FCC IDs must be on all car remotes and other wireless transmitting devices certifying they are approved for use in the USA. Television remotes do not need FCC IDs because they use infrared light to communicate with the TV instead of the wireless spectrum.
trying to buy a replacement keyfob but there is no fcc id on back. Unless its on the part you remove to replace battery. Mine came unscrewed and I lost it. Help me order the right keyfob please
Depending on what type of key fob you have and for which vehicle, it can be located on the side of the key fob. I have a 2011 Chevy Camaro. The flip key shows the FCC ID located on the left side on the key fob.
