When I got in my car I saw a key and a battery reading on my screen...is that what I saw? First time I saw it, it was right above the temp outside...does that mean my battery is low in my key fob? Is that possible after only 6 months of ownership?

 

Yes. Yes.

 

what he said

 

Pretty impressed that it shows you that, I didn't even realize it does that. Do you have a decent amount of time from the first warning, until it totally doesn't work? That brings up a strong question...what if the battery dies in the Key Fob, and your car is locked? Are you S.O.L.?

 

What if your car stalls in the middle of an intersection and your fob dies?

 

That is pretty cool. I had no idea!

You can use the key to get into the car and then insert the fob into the dash to start the car.

 

You have ages before its actually dead. You can open the car with the hard key. You can start the car by putting the fob in the holder even if the battery's dead. If you're smart, you will buy a spare battery and put it in the glove box just in case so you don't ever get caught with it completely dead and no spare.

 

Oh sweet, I actually have two of them so not that big of a deal...I'm a little confused by the second part of your comment...I though you said that you can open the car with hard key, and start by inserting key fob in the holder, so why would you need the extra battery if you can operate it without that?

 

Mine has been on for a couple months already. Mad annoying.

 

+1, mine has been on for a few months but it shows like 80% battery. i will deal with it. not buying a new battery everytime it is below 100%

 

Mines been showing for a year now. A week after i got my car the sign came up and this was back in March. so guesstimate how long you have. lol

 

How do u Replace battery, is it oN the fob or key?

 

Because at some point it will be completely dead and then you will be SOL.

 

Dealer never get me a key.. strange

 

I hope you are kidding.
