We’ve dropped a new video to our YouTube channel. This one guides Toyota bX and bZ4X electric vehicle (EV) drivers into and starting their vehicles when the battery in the key fob dies.
Back-up or emergency procedures are needed if the battery in the fob dies or if there is electrical interference preventing the fob from working properly.
We paused our video production when we were forced to search for a new place to live and to finally move about the first of April. We’re settled enough to restart video work.
We’ve just about managed to keep pace with website updates.
We have a colleague driving a bZ4X who was gracious enough to agree to the demonstration. We’ll hopefully get to a fob battery replacement video soon.
You can check out the video here…
