How To Start A Car When The Smart Key Battery Dies

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!

It worked haha I normally don’t comment on videos but wanted to leave you a comment giving you props for it lol 🤘🏽

@@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.

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.

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.

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! 🙏

I have ALWAYS been a big believer in simplicity. These keys and everything associated with them is nuts.

@terrid7827 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

Great video and will get a lot of people out of trouble thankyou. On the later civics and mybe other models too the with smart display screen it warns you if remote key is out of range and you get message like... "Keyless remote not being Detected" If you are getting this message but you have the remote key with you It could also mean that the battery inside the key fob is weak so you should have it replaced ASAP before it lets you down. However if battery in remote has gone you can still start the car, the display in your car will tell you what to do, you will see a message like.... "To start hold remote near start button" It will also display a picture on screen showing you this. Hope that helps.
