Question type: General
Sometimes it seems like the car doesn't recognize my key fob, After getting in the car using the actual key I'll try to start the car but it wont start. It will tell me to insert the key into the key fob slot. A friend told me that I should put the key fob in the slot whenever im in the car. Is this true. My wife tends to think that they key fob slot is draining the battery in the key fob

The slot does not drain the FOB. But the battery on the FOB does get weak and the vehicle has a difficult time recognizing the key RF signal. Replace the battery in the FOB and you should be fine.
I thought the battery on my fob needed to be replaced but I have a spare fob key. My car has an issue recognizing both fobs so it must be a different issue. What you guys think?
how do I replace the battery in my key fob?
Paul, you can replace it by prying the key fob in half. there are many many videos on youtube on how to properly do this. then just trade out the small batteries. super easy!
