It’s been nearly a full three months, but we finally dropped a new video to our YouTube channel. This one guides Kia Niro electric vehicle (EV) drivers into and starting their vehicles when the battery in the key fob dies.
Video production went on hold when we were forced to search for a new place to live and to finally move about the first of April. We’re nearly settled, or at least settled enough to restart video work.
We’ve just about managed to keep pace with website updates.
In that time, our own key fob’s battery ran dry, and we had to use the emergency or back-up open and start option to get in and get going.
In truth, the fob began acting up about two weeks before, but we wanted to watch the fob’s behavior over that time. We posted on an oddity we ran across that you can see here.
And you can check out the video here…
