We dropped a new Chevrolet video covering Equinox, Cruze, Sonic and Blazer models

Chevrolet logoNew Chevrolet Video

We recently added a new Chevrolet video to our YouTube channel. It is specifically for 2019 through 2024 Equinox keyless start models with a dead key fob battery. And yes there is a way to get in and get going. The process will also work with 2017 and later Cruze models, as well as all Sonic and Blazer models.

These models all use a back up location that is the front cup holder. They also feature a hidden key hole, which we show how to uncover.

We’ve added the video to our Chevrolet video page, which now features 19 videos. You can find them all here at this link. The new video can be seen here.

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.

Remember to replace the batteries in your key fobs at the first moment you see a warning on your instrument panel!
