minus-squarehedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·2 months agoMany modern cars only check for the fob on startup, so you can drive away without the fob but as soon as you turn the car off, you are stuck. I found this out the hard way by dropping my partner and his keys off at a Dr office and then driving away. IDK why it doesn’t check for fob before engaging Drive, as would seem sensible.
