Haha, very cool! I just tried it and a key popped out. Thanks for your help. :thumbsup:Look at your FOBs there's a release button and a medal key will pull out
How did you disable the alarm? I'm guessing if the key FOB is out of batteries you can't shut off the alarm, unless once you put the key in the ignition?If you use the key to open the door the alarm will go off as I found out the hard way. :scratchhead:
I was thinking the same thing. I've been fortunate so far and had responsible sales people who explained the more unique things about the vehicles I've bought.It's the dealer's responsibility to go over things like this with you. Sad.
I give credit to my dealer finding the exact car I want. He was professional, and worked to give me a good deal. But in my excitement I didn't ask these sort of questions. You're right though, he could of also gone over stuff like this with me.It's the dealer's responsibility to go over things like this with you. Sad.
The salesmen when doing the final paper worked handed me this paper to sign that said he went over all the features, but he hadn't. He said he would once the car was fueled and ready to drive out. He of coarse did not, which would not have mattered because he didn't' know anything about it. I had done a lot of reading before I went so I was already pretty familiar with everything. I did have to find the key thing on my own, though.It's the dealer's responsibility to go over things like this with you. Sad.
If your fob battery is dead you can still get into the car if u want but your not screwed in the sense that you could just go get a new fob battery (u dont need to get into the car to change the fobs battery) but if the car battery is dead and u didnt have a steel key how would you get into the car to pop the trunk to change the cars battery?
The steel key is also there so that you can lock/unlock the glove compartment door when you want to secure something in there.id guess the steel key there in case your car battery dies cause then ud have no way to open the doors of the car at all. with the steel key u can and the alarm wont go off cause the battery is dead.
...................X2You do not need a battery in the fob for the ignition system to sense the key- the embedded transponder chip performs this function. The battery is only to send the RF signal to operate the lock/panic functions.
I know for a fact my SRT8 would not start with the key FOB battery dead. I tried to start it but it could not detect the key FOB. After I replaced the battery I was able to start the car.You do not need a battery in the fob for the ignition system to sense the key- the embedded transponder chip performs this function.
