How to Open a Fisker with a Dead Key Fob

Retrieving the Karma’s mechanical key

Fisker introduced the range-extended electric Karma in 2011. The company went broke but has since returned with the all electric Ocean. They’re on the fiscal ropes again.

There aren’t too many on the road, but if you have one and need to get in and get started when its key fob dies, this is the place to be.

For the Karma model, press the button on the reverse of the key fob (remote control or ‘clicker’) and slide the emergency key blade or mechanical key free (right image).

Insert the key into the lock located beneath the passenger side door handle. This will set off the vehicle’s alarm. We do not know if this will unlock the driver’s door as well, which could make getting to the next step very difficult while an alarm is blaring.

See the emergency start procedure on the next page. The alarm will will be turned off when the vehicle is started.

Getting into the Fisker Ocean

The Ocean’s key fob does not have a mechanical key, but there is still a back up opening procedure.

Place the Fisker logo on the back of the fob against the light colored strip in the center of the driver’s door handle roughly where the arrow is pointing (right). It may need to be moved a half inch one way or the other. The handle will detect the key fob and will extend to the open position.
