Are you familiar with how to start a push button car when the Key fob is dead? Does your car have a hidden key slot for the mechanical key to start the car? How do you access slot? Does the car technology allow for the car to start by touching the dead Key fob to the start button.

It sounds like a lot of questions and the answers are different for each car type. Best to know before you have Key fob issues.

Note, I learned today after incurring a dead Key fob.
That’s a lot of question and I don’t have the time to answer so many - but thanks for asking - btw - what are you going to do with tha answers you get? Just wondering.
