They key also works in the glove box...FWIW, you can still get in most cars and start them even if the key fob battery is dead...and without the key! Just hold the fob on the door handle or the ignition button. It uses NFC to power the fob enough to use it.
Imagine owning this car during a Zombie Apocalypse, freaking zombies would start eating you alive before you had the chance to even unlock the bloody door of your car to escape....😂😂😂
Not if your anti zombie partner was watching your six. I would suggest practicing a few dozen times so you can do it in under 5 seconds. Or just buy old cars.
@@robs1052 still better than calling a tow truck in my opinion. Might have to de-ice the handle otherwise looks pretty easy. Personally, I don't ever plan to live that far north again. I'm done dealing with snow unless I plan a snowmobile or skiing trip.
Every body talking about how long it wil take but the first hole is really close to the paint of the car you know how many scratch marks youre gona make if your in a hurry😂😂 ( sorry for the bad english im from the nederlands )
Wow. And to think people got paid to create this stupid setup. What's wrong with just having the key hole next to the door handle??? It's been working for over 50 years no problem.
Ive had to do this multiple times on my xts, and it never come off that easy! In real. Life it takes a good 5 to 10 minutes of fiddling with it and trying to not scratch the paint.
On some GM models, you it to program a new key fob. Insert key into the driver door key cylinder. Turn the key to the lock position 5 times, this will set the keyless entry control module in the learn mode
Was looking for a video to unlock the door when the car battery is dead and came across this one. A jump box doesn't work very well when it's inside a car that won't unlock!! This should do the trick. Thank you!!
This works well in warm climates. What do you do in the cold freezing months of winter. I would like to see a video in sub zero weather with ice formed around the latch.
My mom had to do this with her traverse, except since it was in the garage we kept it unlocked, her car wouldn’t start from it and it actually told her to open the compartment behind the touchscreen and place the key inside to start it. She’s been using the secondary key now and we’re waiting on cr 2032 batteries
Exactly! You won't need to do that until the battery inside your keyfob dies. Unless you replace the battery before that happens, that's the only way to get inside your car.
I've been driving on a dead key fob for about 2-3 weeks now... is there any danger of hurting the car? I just haven't made it to dealership and not sure how to change it myself, wouldn't try if I did lol. Thanks!
Yea thats why I prefer my 20 yr old jeep no electronics to deal with lol plus one of the most user friendly cars I've driven as far as fixing parts headlights ect
If you loose the key fob, you loose the key. If you have just the key, opening the door with the key will allow you to press the start button. It bypasses the proximity sensor.
A melhor parte é quando ele fala "Se acendeu o painel é porque a bateria principal está ok". Meu carro mal tem uma bateria, quem dirá uma principal pra ter uma secundária kkk
I mean for real, why tf would you buy a car designed like this?? It seems like more of an annoyance than anything. I just wanna be able to jump in my car , throw the key in it and go lol. I'm definitely not trying to solve a rubik's cube on the side of the road.
@@devindameron this is for when or if the battery dies in the key fob! Normally you walk up to the car push the button on the handle and it opens. 🤦🏾♀️
So is basically a normal handle with keyhole but they decided to have no hole in the cover And if you want to get to the keyhole you have to scratch your car Seems kind of pointless to me
UA-cam and people that make video's like this have saved me in all different types of scenarios, thx.
I am new to this as my last vehicle was 14yrs. old so I truly appreciate this for when I might need it! Thank You!

Yes, I'd call the cops if SOMEONE USED A KEY TO OPEN A CAR DOOR... you know, because that was NEVER A THING IN THE PAST...

I appreciated the clear instruction provided for opening my car with a dead battery.

It's been a year. Have you tried it yet?
The best part is you need a constant supply of touch up paint from the key dragging on the door!
These aren't features, bro. They're design flaws.
Did this today on SRX ‘13 worked! Thank you!
Glad it worked for you too! Thanks for watching.
This video saved my mom from getting her car towed! Excellent video.

Nice ride man. I had a 70 Chevelle (302).
None of this would be necessary if most ppl were honest. I’ll take the old pull up locks any day 🎉
All vehicles with electric locks have a manual key override somewhere. You just have to read this thing called the vehicle manual to find it.

The car will not get hurt, but one day it will not start because of the dead battery. Replace it asap before you get stuck somewhere.
@@Your-Self thank you for the fast response and I'm gonna fix it ASAP, thanks again 😁
It's really easy to replace! No dealership needed honestly. Search how to do it here on UA-cam.

Change out your batteries once a year or so

If you loose the key fob, you loose the key. If you have just the key, opening the door with the key will allow you to press the start button. It bypasses the proximity sensor.
And now by putting the cover back on, you have locked yourself out of the car again. 😁

That system must be complicated when you are in a hurry and look like that scratch the painting is inevitable.
Because it was intended to be unlock automatically by pressing one button

Does this work on all cars with this kind of keyless entry?
In a rainy day, this will be 👍👍👍👍👍
Some of them have a manual key override to start the car with the "hidden key" just under the steering column.
That is a smart idea from Cadillac with the key
Ya rite.. the whole concept is great huh . Complicated keys and batteries are so cool n having to pop off lids for hidden keyholes, . The best...😒
Mr. Bean's car unlocks in a similar manner
It wouldn't surprise me. The guy has made a lot of movies so I'm sure he also drives a really nice car.
Ahh... It's a GM product. No wonder it's needlessly complicated.
