Why the alarm sounds when using the mechanical key belonging to the proper vehicle!

Dead fob iconUsing the mechanical key

We just dropped a video on YouTube discussing why using the mechanical key sets off the alarm in the vehicle the key belongs to! We discussed it in a post earlier here, but thought we should inform our subscribers.

We note in the middle of our videos that the alarm may sound, but are embarrassed that we didn’t warn viewers from the start! We do now…

We are considered re-doing every video in our collection, but won’t. It would actually hurt the channel, as each video’s views would be lost. What we will do is offer a warning in each write-up and hopefully help avoid scaring the living daylights out of everyone…

We added the video to our video page here and the YouTube link is here.
