We have added a video to our YouTube channel demonstrating how to open and start 2024 & newer Honda Prologue or Acura ZDX EVs with a dead key fob battery.
The vehicles were developed with General Motors (GM), and the EVs carry a lot of GM features, including, unfortunately hidden key holes and a very different back up start method.
We got a chance to reveal the key hole on a ZDX at the New York International Auto Show and are more than confident in our ability to help a driver start their cars using GM models as analogues.
Smart Keys or Intelligent Keys, or Access Keys – or whatever the manufacturer of your chooses to call them – that let you into your car and start it with just a touch use up their internal batteries at alarming rates, catching busy drivers unawares – even though the car had tried to warn you.
Our goal is to help you feel safe – and keep you moving or get you moving if at all possible – rather than leave you fretting whenever your key fob stops working. The instructions for getting into and starting most keyless start cars can be found on our pages – without roadside assistance.
You can see the new video on our YouTube channel here, or on our Honda/Acura page, which now has nine videos here.
