We have added a video to our YouTube channel demonstrating how to open and start a Kia EV9 with a dead key fob battery. The model offers a new and unique key hole cover to overcome (below right).
The door handle needs to be help all the way open while removing the cover. The mechanical key is supposed to be used to do this but we used a finger nail and feel like the cover could be damaged by the key.
And that mechanical key is supplied as a separate part! This is a disturbing trend among manufacturers offering digital options. Read smart phone. However, we have seen software issues that could leave a driver stranded. That separate mechanical key is way too easily lost!
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 Kia page, which now has 17 videos, including those for Hyundai and Genesis begging to be separated, here.
