Excerpt: According to the lock specialists at Ford, each keyless-entry transmitter has a transmitter identification code (TIC) that is programmed and, therefore, linked to the vehicle. But even if thieves manage to mimic the TIC, the unlocking/locking process is even more complicated.

I've heard that. Here's my question: I buy a car and get two fobs. I lock the car and take a bus to the other side of town. The wife comes home from a business trip far away and, having had her keys with her (read - far out of range of either the car or my fob) pushes the unlock button and the car opens. How does the car open since her fob cannot know the code used the last time?

I would suspect that a sequence is used for each independent fob.

See Post #24 in this thread. That should answer your question.
