Even on low battery the buttons on the fob should still lock the car, plus you could always use the emergency key.
I hope it’s not getting back at you for your previous comments about things breaking??
Personally love it, but horses for courses.
Hi bud, I have a 17 plate so no not that vid but similar type of thing. Lots of prizing with a screwdriver and 50pence piece. Snapping the board back into the top of the fob was a squeeze and hope. Snapfit with a circuit board doesn't seem so smart but likely cheap.
Ahh OK you need this video instead. There is a knack to it as per the vid that makes it much easier.
I managed to get into the car with the second keyfob and stuck the keyfob into the slot in the rear cupholder and yep car started fine but then once i'd stopped car I realised I couldn't lock it! Both keyfobs were dead as a dodo. Anyhow, after throwing toys out of my pram I ordered batteries online and then discovered Argos had some so borrowed my g/f's Sportage (go Kia with a proper key) and got four new batteries for 7quid. Keeping the four ordered online for spares for when this happens again though how long these things last in the packet is debateable. I was back with two working keyfobs before 5pm
Won't the key that fits the hidey hole on the door handle lock the car?
i dunno, does it? I didn't have a screwdriver nor any coins in my pocket when I realised i couldn't lock the car in the supermarket carpark so i couldn't take things apart though i might have been able to at least lock the car.
If you are adding youtubes try this one as well.i dunno, does it? I didn't have a screwdriver nor any coins in my pocket when I realised i couldn't lock the car in the supermarket carpark so i couldn't take things apart though i might have been able to at least lock the car.
Just checked the original batteries, Panasonic brand so not no brand in there. No idea why both were dead at same time the the normal day to day one gave zero warning on Saturday that it was going to have issues. Like i say, sht design but dropped in it once is forewarned. One screwdriver and a couple of coins and a spare pair of keyfob batteries will be left in the car and the car manual and video from above will be on the phone locally. Any big road trips might consider taking the key out of the fob and putting in my wallet. Just in case
different keyfob but the unlock / lock principle will be the same thank you. As i said, my daily keyfob has a cover and a keyring on it and the keyring needs a screwdriver to take that apart so i'll be stuffed trying to do that if i can't get into the car without the fob. That's something i didn't think i'd need to worry about. I have learned, will change out the loop. The keyfob shown in your video I wouldnt have that issue but my keyfobs are not like that one so yeah i'll need to change the attachments
