I've never pulled the seats out, but that's where it is. It couldn't be anywhere else or else your car wouldn't start. Under one of the seats or between seat and console. Check the ash tray. Check the console. Check under the floor mats. It has to be there.

did you look under the rails that the seat slides on like i said?

also, the seat has carpet hanging from it.. move the seat forwards and start tapping on that carpet.. maybe it managed to get in there

I dropped a credit card between the console and seat, took me forever to figure out you can reach in there if you flip the seat up and make it roll all the way forward, then you have a clear view of under and the side of the seat.

I had the same problem this weekend. The key fell out of my pocket and went between the seat and center console. In the end, it slid down under the power seat track. I spent hours trying to figure out where it was and then once I found it, how to get it out from under the seat track.

I there any possibility that i could have gone into the under seat air ducts that shoot air to the back seat of the car?? (Just a thought)

Some good news.....I found the damn fob and it was not under the seats.

It was literally IN the bottom of the center console.

Between the passenger side of the center console, more towards the shifter, and the carpet I have a small gap that you can barely get your fingers in.

Somehow the key fob fell and bounced perfectly in that spot. I did some 50-0 breaking and I heard it sliding around.

How it got in there.....no freaking clue! I am just glad its out! So FYI on the new hiding spot.

this makes no sense...if the fob is not in the trunk then ur trunk would close.


anyway, ur fob must be in the car somewheres for u to not be able to lock the doors...like stated earlier, see if u can start ur car...keep searching...and even tho u have a spare fob, u still wouldn't be able to lock the doors

this is true. I put a gym bag in trunk of the unlocked car two weeks ago and drove to the pool with the fob in that bag. Today I put a bag in the trunk prior to unlocking the doors, the trunk kept popping until I realized my fob was in the bag.
