How To Start A Car When The Smart Key Battery Dies
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I show you how to start a car when the smart key battery dies. If you own a modern car that uses a proximity key to start the engine, and the battery inside of the key fob dies, you will still be able to start the car. I show you the process with Honda CR-V, but it will be a similar process for other cars. Be sure to consult your owners manual to look for the specific instructions for your vehicle!

4 years old, and this video saved my butt! Had to move housemate’s car during storm for fear of falling trees. The only spare they had was beyond dead. Knew about the hidden key to get in the car, but could not for the life of me figure out how to turn the car ON! Thank you so much!! Worked exactly like you said!

@@Damia_In_Wonderland my Honda CR-V owner' s manual had nothing to say about how to start your car when the fob battery dies. In fact the owner's manual -all 170 pages is ridiculously complex to understand.
I was stuck today at a grocery store and I went on KZread to see how to start the car if your car fob dies and this video really helped me a lot I reached home safely thank u very much .

I wish I was at the store then I could buy a new battery shits still not working
My mom had a similar in incident like this , now that I have my own, she gave me a good tip: Always keep a spare battery, it’s not much but it will save you if it so happens to die on you. A buttoncell battery is inexpensive and compact, so you can keep it in your glove compartment. Buy two if you have to and keep the other on the trunk with your spare tire.
Not all hero’s wear capes cause Maan!!, I was sweating balls if I had to call a tow truck 😅. Thank you!.
Thank-you for your help! Even calling the Honda place didn't help & it wasn't in the manual. you would think the salesperson would show us everything but they don't. U saved the day. Granny
THANK YOU I was sitting in my car for 10 minutes and it would not start. Found your video worked like magic you are appreciated.

VerifiedPistola now that this happend, always keep a spare remote battery in your car, you can always hide it where you can access it with a car key.

I'm so glad I watched this video My car wouldn't start battery was dead But I learned what to do Thanks .
Thank you so much for this video! Key Fob stopped working and I replaced the key fob battery and it still didn’t start. I watched the video and followed the instructions and it started Dodge Journey 2014. I was stranded at Walmart with groceries and this video saved me a tow and time❤
Worked like Magic !!! Thank you !. This saved me a long walk to the Auto store !
Started car and it said battery was running low on fob. I was going to work and was afraid so I grabbed my other fob just in case the 1st one died while at work. This is extremely helpful! 🙏
What a great tip! I'm having issues with my CR V fobs (replaced the battery not two months ago and now it says it's low again). Something must be up, but I'm glad you posted this in the event I get caught with a dead battery. Seems to have worked for people. Thanks a bunch!
I have ALWAYS been a big believer in simplicity. These keys and everything associated with them is nuts.

Smart key makes life WAY simpler. I put my keys in my pocket in the morning when I leave the house, and leave them there until I get home in the evening and unlock the door to my house. Don't need to unlock car door, don't need to have key out to start the car; can start it remotely on cold winter mornings; never have to worry about locking my keys in the car because even if I wanted to, the car literally wouldn't let me. Having to change the battery once every couple years is a small - no, tiny - no, MINISCULE price to pay for all that simplicity and convenience.

@@terrid7827 Um yeah, I remember all the stress associated with taking keys out of my pocket, and putting them in door locks. Not sure how I ever made it through those years. Am so happy my children will not have to be burdened with a key DAY in and day out in the for a couple decades. So blessed.🙂

My wife notoriously locked her keys inside or misplaced her keys before we bought our 2016 CRV with push button start. Chasing after a rambunctious 4 year old can make you forget where you laid your keys, or you just subconsciously lay them down when tending to the little one! In that context, the push button start feature actually simplified our lives! Now, it just lives in her purse in a zippered pocket. No more AAA unlock calls! We love it! As a side story, back in the 90's when we all still were using actual keys, my mom had the same tendencies to misplace her keys as well. She had 10 kids to chase after. After my dad had to come bring her the spare set a few times, he eventually just wired a spare key up under the vehicle chassis for her! Now, she has a push button 2019 HRV and loves it!
You saved my life today. Worked perfectly on my 2015 honda Crosstour. Thank you Thank you🙏🙏🙏
DUDE - **Just** saved my day. OMGGGGGGG Thank you!!!

Meagan C I had to stop watching it. And got to someone else’s page. He just blabals on unnecessary. I don’t think it’s as much people complaining as people are trying to give him constructive criticism so he next video is not so wordy and more to the point.

Thank god for people like you that make this videos 😩
Much appreciated my friend! I knew I could get into the car with the physical key, but I didn't know about putting the fob up to the button.
The world needs more people like you!!! Thanks a lot!!

Thanks man you just saved me from freezing to death out in the cold
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO... IT WORKED HOLDING RIGHT NEXT TO START BUTTON...
I also knew about the key but not the additional chip. You’ve saved me a lot of hassle. Thankyou
Thank you kind sir! You got me out of trouble. I do appreciate that.
Thank you you just saved me but mine was so dead I had to like hold it up right after n front of it when starting so if this method doesn’t work try doing them both at once!
Does anyone know how to program replacement remote for 2018 Honda Fit? It has push button start (does not ignition key to start the engine). I cannot find anything online showing how to program a replacement remote.
You a real one for this video, man! 💯💯💯
That was very informational. Thank you.
You are a legend! Just tried it and it works! God bless you
This video is a life saver. My fob was not working and i had no idea. Car is running.... thanks.
Thank you! My owners manual did not have any mention of that, at least that I could find.
Question: Wife has a 2019 CR=V ... Will the car drive after starting in the way you describe or do you have to hold the fob up by the start button while you drive?
Thank you! I was stuck in the grocery store parking lot in 8 degree weather!

The key FOB is using NFC technology as like used in credit cards, and mobile phones for tap and pay to start the car when the FOB battery is dead. Most cars have the vehicle NFC sensor behind the ignition switch. Some have it in another location. Check the owner's manual for details. Place the key FOB at the proper position; usually at the ignition button and press the button. The car should start.

It's not NFC. It's just getting the weak signal closer to the receiver. I just verified this with my FOB by trying to add an Apple Shortcuts Personal Automation that is able to be triggered by scanning NFC. My NFC credit cards work with no problems and are recognized as NFC, but not the FOB. The iPhone does not recognize the FOB at all.
Very helpful / thank you - got us back and started in the car with 2 very tired dogs
Thanks that was helpful.
Thanks. Very Helpful.
Works! Do I need a key replaced? If this issue occurs.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful.
Thank you very much sir today I start the car with out hard time because of your video I learn very early morning today thank you more power and God bless you
Thank you so much!!!this was so helpful!!
Very helpful. Thank you!!!
#1 Find the key inside and open the door like a normal car #2 put the fob near the start/stop button cause there’s a chip that doesn’t require a battery most likely an nfc chip. Simple.
Thanks so much for this education!
Thanks man you helped my mom today. Liked. I drive a Honda and it's different, it has a cap.

But what happens when the fob key is broken but you have a back up key however it ( the car) 2007 HHR decides the security light now starts blinking which allows the car to turn over and lights come on so on and so on but will not crank? What then?
Thank you so much, it worked on my Honda Pilot

YOU JUST SAVED ME. THANK YOU ANGEL
Some cars have a pocket for the key in the or around the Centre console compartment for the key like mine does but my car will also tell me that the battery in the key fob is going flat so I can replace the key before this happens
I love how you can go to KZread to get answers rather than your owners manual with too many words lmao
Thank Goodness for wise men who make life saving videos.
Thank you so much. Key failed and was stuck. You fixed it

when I called Honda road-side assistance they didn't know this and called me a tow truck. Seems like this should be top of the FAQ
