Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my key fob not work from a normal distance?
A weak fob battery is the most common cause. Radio frequency interference and faulty receiver antennas are also possible.
Can I start my car if the key fob battery is dead?
Most vehicles with push-button start have a backup location to hold the fob near, or a physical key slot for emergency starting.
How often should I replace the key fob battery?
Key fob batteries typically last 2-4 years. Replace them proactively when the low battery warning appears.
