Why Not to Buy a Keyless Car (Push to Start Button) 

you can use Forscan to add a PATs key to a Ford. no dealer needed

I like number 1 😂😂😂

Scotty Scotty..... you and your fan dangled starter motor and key lock barrels with hocus pocus black magic electrical wiring.... when will you ever learn. Cars with silly lock barrels and starter motors are STUPID keys are STUPID , when your starter motor breaks or you lose your key then you are stuck in the middle of nowhere like a STUPID IDIOT have fun trying to start your car....STUPID IDIOT. I'll stick to my trusty old hand cranked engine car. If Im too tired to crank the handle or i run out of fuel so what....i can just borrow a neighbours horse and ride home in it like a stage coach. Have fun finding your STUPID key hahahahaha

You forgot the last one... 7. 20 jumpcuts

What is ajv80 even talking about

lol, people these days can't drive stick

not true 53% of cars on yhe road in the world are still stick

+ColushMan false

People don't buy key fobs so people don't steal It, you can use your car with never even touching your key. If the battery runs out you can use the key that's inside the key fob.

Don't be so naive...

+Haukenslush I"m half deaf from helicopters, guns, motorycles, rocknroll, and fixing cars the last 47 years. This is my normal voice. Let's not be prejudiced here.

+Scotty Kilmer how was i being prejudiced? I asked a serious question. and now i know why you were yelling. ALSO, i don't know if you know this or not but cars that have keyless entry have a back up method just in case the battery goes dead. there is a place in the car where you can put the keyfob in and still start the car.

+Haukenslush you're being prejudiced against deaf people. And some cars have a back up key system, but many don't.

+Scotty Kilmer I don't see how asking a legit question is being prejudiced but ok 0_o

Scotty Kilmer Oh.... I had no idea... i never even thought about your time in the service... that makes SO much sense! So Sorry if i ever Thought any bad things or typed any bad things about your hearing disability Scotty

Locking and unlocking doors with a key to.

@@crlaw75 takes time

@user-ho1ih1uj6w Not at all.

@@user-ho1ih1uj6w😰😰

Yes sir..!

Idk about the best part....but it certainly feels alot better than a push start

Haha! True!! Hearing the engine crank up and start is orgasmic to many....

Second only to putting a key into the ignition and then pushing the starter button to start the car. These use to be common in cars built in the 50's and 60's as well as race cars. Among the cars that had them back then were the Austin Mini's, (my dad had one) and the 911's

push to start is such much cooler and more futuristic.

stilkus u must be female

Enjoy! what makes you say so ?

stilkus I assume it's because you're not embarrassed to say that.

ToMaSaRuS REX yso you guys go detecting genders from people commenting on youtube? I guess I met the smartest people alive.

stilkus No no no, you must have misunderstood what i meant by that. He said you must be a female because when you said "this video makes a hell lot of sense. thanks Scotty." Usually only females would say something like that (because this pertains to cars, most males like to think they know everything) and typically a guy would be embarrassed to say that.

Kian Palmer Scotty would facepalm haha

Kian Palmer *news channel* "And tonight a Mercedes was brutally blown up in a popular mechanic's driveway"

He has fixed Mercs before.

I remember that Merc. He replaced the shocks they cost a fortune haha

Scotty would make a nice lawn ornament out of it! Lol

there are some who still have a hidden keyhole in case the shit breaks

Yes. Some low-end models.

Not rly, you can start new s-class with just a key

tuvalu Which are those??

find the hidden holes yourself;-) But I think Mercs and BMW's have one you can use when the button fails.

G4U

Ever since 2010 when i had a car with push button start. Never went back to turning a key. Feels like a peasant turning a key.

@@vernonpaigejr.1517 A peasant lmao

@@daveatsea9465 It do. LOL. You ever notice in horror movies. It's always a turn key car, be fumbling the keys and stuff. Push button. Hope in drive off and you escaped Jason.

@@daveatsea9465 I know, right?! I'm betting that he had no complaints *_until_* push buttons became a thing. Now all of a sudden, it's "Okay, new tech's here! Upgrade now, or you're a peasant!" 😅Just goes to show that these days, people have no qualms getting screwed over by these corporations, if it means shaving a whopping (GASP!) *_2 seconds_* off of an already simple task!

it's really more of a vicious circle, and I personally stand outside the circle with a key in my hand

This is probably the most accurate statement I have ever read on this post. It's pretty obvious that car manufacturers love adding more unnecessary "technology" to vehicles to profiteer and deceive gullible consumers who fall victim to overpriced repairs! They turn the most basic systems that are in no way in need of upgrading and complicate them enough to push the maintenance capabilities beyond the reach of the average person. I just wish more people would take notice of this flat out scam!

+Scotty Kilmer they could have added push button start on top of a regular key system. That way when the keyless breaks down the traditional system is there as backup or personal preference. Keyless becomes user choice. Why they removed the regular key is beyond me. Plus why do they call it keyless in the first place? The transponder is a key.

Its a question of different people's wants needs and preferences what makes sense to one might be nonsense to another not unusual with self employed labourers or mothers with kids having their hands full.

Mark Littler The features don't have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, the keyless entry fob contains a physical key that unlocks the door. Why not allow that key to also start the car? I like pushbutton start as much as the next guy and I'm not saying to get rid of it, but Scotty's objection is primarily due to the ridiculously high cost to repair the system when it breaks. That is something the dealerships don't tell the laborers and mothers with kids when they purchase their vehicles. A replacement key should not cost thousands of dollars. That's borderline extortion. If your key breaks, what do you do? You have no choice but to pay up.

exactly

They want you at the dealership spending a fortune

Cost

Most cars are done like this nowadays

Toyota has a system where you tap the key to the push button to start it

TRUE, but I faced with the problem is, when I explain to one of a customer and open Kilmer video, they said this is stupid/ rubbish. I have no IDEA who stupid! In my conclusion, I tell them brought back to dealer. DONE, problem solved.

There are some out there, but sadly most of them aren't on youtube or much on the web

You need more scotty kilmer in u.

@@martintran7837 true but im faced with the problem. When i explain to one of my customers the problem and show the scotty kilmer video they say its stupid and they say thats rubbish. I have no idea who is wrong. In my conclusion i told them to go to the dealer. Problem solved. (Thats how you write in english)

Unfortunately, I started learning English too late and I am 40years old now, because I am pure Asian. I am barely writing English mate. In University, I done math and Mechanic have no problems, but English is my big problem. If you find hard to understand my write just let me know I do fix it, like I fix car.

Derpyderp i got mine for a dollar.. he was scammed lol

How LOW can you get folks?

Whahahaha!

Hahahahahaha. That’s actually very funny

If he say everything stupid, why he still have a car that his entire video is roasting endless cars

😂❤

Do you even hear how stupid you sound?

Yeah I want a push to start bc I never had it before and it makes it more enjoyable but now I am scared to get it bc it might break down. I want both options keyless and a key ignition.

Wow you save so much time!! World has gone soft and lazy af. No wonder everything is turning to shite. The people are all shite. New gens are the worst

@@lynch42o you must live a miserable life to get that worked up over a push starter in a car...

@@mablevins08 lmao. It’s just people that need a reason to hate on the upcoming generation.

nope. you should watch the video again. He clearly stated that the tech is stupid in addition to it replacement cost. He basically said the tech is useless. I wonder how much it cost to replace the car keys back in the 60s? Whether the keys can be replaced for nickle (equivalent to modern $2). You can't just bash on tech just because it has it nuances. All bugs will be worked out. only closed minded old geezers would bashed on things they can't comprehend. My guess is that he is mad because he can't cut throat his customers when they need the key replace. He is a mechanic after all....

ecodrove The thing is his claims have very valid points. Think about it... Sitting taking a poop... You have a regular toilet paper roller on the wall, you grab how much TP you need and wipe your butt... If it breaks you go to any home supply store or hardware and buy another roller for 2 bucks and you are back in business. Vs. Sitting taking a high tech poop... You have a slit in the wall and wave your hand in front of a sensor and then it gives you TP to wipe your butt. If it breaks you can no longer wipe your butt and to fix it you need to take a plane ride to Italy pay 10000 dollars for replacement parts then fly back and call in repair guys who take up to 2 weeks to come install the parts. Results: roller breaks ... Pay 2 dollars and a 15 minute drive to the hardware VS. paying for a plane ticket, flying to a different country, paying 10,000 dollars for parts, flying back, calling repair men who take 2 weeks to come by, then you are fixed. You see I am an IT administrator and a companies technology is always up to 5 years behind the latest tech. Why? Because its expensive, can break just as much or even more than the older stuff, its new so when it does break you have to search high and low for replacement parts, AND THE MAIN REASON. Lots of times a newer version of something though it may tout a better architecture and better quality... May only do a 5% better job than the older tech meaning your company just spent a million dollars modernising their equipment to only be 5% more productive. Simply put does that key that costs 1500 dollars to replace make your day to day life 1500 times easier. Its over complicating something that doesn't need to be so complicated to work... That's what he's getting at.

+Skitzotech Gaming He makes a slightly misleading statement when he discussed the ignition systems. First, when he is talking about the broken Infiniti, he says, "the keyless ignition system broke, it ended up costing him $1,500 to get it to start again." And then, he talks about the worn out key in the Toyota that cost him $2 to replace. In the Infiniti, the key wasn't replaced, the entire ignition system was. In the Toyota, the ignition system didn't need replacement, only the key did. If the Infiniti only needed a key replacement, it maybe would have cost a mere $100, which is a lot more than $2, but a lot less than $1,500. If the Toyota needed the ignition system replaced, I'm guessing it would have cost a lot more than $2, although being an older Toyota and not a luxury model like an Infiniti, it certainly wouldn't have cost $1,500. The point I'm making is that the comparison isn't the same. Comparison of worn out keys in both cars is more apropos. By the way, the battery in my transponder for my keyless ignition wore out. Guess how much it cost me to replace the battery and get my car working again? Yup, that's right, $2. That's the true comparison right there.

+mogelijk1 I completely forgot about the chip key he mentioned. I had to replace one for my PT Cruiser, and it ran me $160 for the parts and reprogramming labor.

+Brett Scott Gentry Still a lot better than $1500. And those chip keys aren't active electronics. It's RFID. It's just a circuit that reflects a pattern of radio waves back at the active electronics on the car. That's why it's cheaper. Also simpler and much harder to break.

09infintig37x I think what Scott wants to say is that only buy extended warranty from manufacturer/dealership and not from third party providers or insurance agencies. I just got a new car and bought extended warranty as it is being offered by the manufacturer itself.

right 100%

09infintig37x but nissan is the sister of infinity

what's a Ultima..?

lmaooo Altima lol

Batman Beyond Unless someone knows what they're doing and can push start the thing.

+Mephles N you know owning a manual is considered an anti theft device in america on your insurance because people are too stupid to drive them right? i got a discount on my rx-7 and my mini truck for it

Conrad Mcdonald Sweet, I should look into that cause I have a manual as well but paying the same price for an automatic van. Didn't realize that, but just mentioning that all it takes is someone who knows how to drive one.

One of the top ten most stolen cars in North America are Honda Civic Si's. They only come in standard.

Only in america. In the rest of the world everyone takes driving exam in a manual car, and the majority of cars are manuals...

Right!

+ArrKayCee not sure with his dodge keys, but my bmw keyless system, do still requires plug the chip into the car to unlock and recharge the battery everytime I drive. And if is faulty by itself, BMW replace it for free.

+Joz Sun thats bad info, the only thing bmw will do to a remote "free" is replace the battery and you still pay labour. faulty remote you buy a new one and pay to program.

+ArrKayCee because $$$

+ArrKayCee my NIssan serena had one, you can turn on the engine using the immobilizer or the actual key itself. either way, you still have to "turn" something on the side of the steering wheel like a normal car used to. check out NIssan Serena C25 japanese market one

lmfaooo

LoL

Oh shieeettt haha

hahahaha! Good observation!

Lol!!!

ソランジュ I have key hate keyless

Mr White yeah i hate Toyota prius

One of the most reliable cars ever made despite the technology in them. Look it up. The ones used as Taxis have 400, 500 and even 600 thousand miles on the ORIGINAL engine, drivetrain and EVEN the master battery is still the factory one on a lot of them. My 10 year old Prius has 130k on it and it is all original and drives like new, still getting 45 MPG average out of a a full tank of gas with the original battery that is still going strong. I replace the oil every 5k with Mobil 1 0w-30 Advance Fuel Synthetic and I replace the Transmission Fliud Every 40k. No other special maintenance. I've owned alot of cool cars in my life but not one has been more dependable than my Gray Mouse 💪😎

Funny, because no one asked for yours either, yet you were the first to chime in on the original comment.

@@quantumphaser Yep. They're ridiculously long-lived, with an exceptionally low operating cost thanks to their fuel economy and mechanical reliability. Unfortunately, I totaled mine at 180k, but was still averaging 44-45 on hilly rural highways with original battery pack, and no mechanical issues in the 60,000 miles I owned it. The taxi service in my town operates them, and the mechanic who works on their fleet says that about the only time he sees the service retire a prius is if they wrecked it beyond repair, and many, as you said, operate well into the 400-500k range. Add their great cargo capacity, and it's a car that does pretty much everything I could want, from moving, to road-trips, to commuting or outings with my mountain bike. My only minor complaint is that it's not great on snow, but having driven a '94 Ford Ranger in the winter, I know it could be worse.

@@joelhenderson3723 Just past 162,000 miles, that's more than 30k since my post. Everything still 100% 😁

but the fact is push start is less secure vs a transponder key. A theft nowadays can reprogram the radio in 2 minutes, re-pair a fob or transponder chip. With a keyed system, he still need to defeat the key mechanism. and there are more complication with a always transmitting fob, theft can use a signal booster to grab the key signal from your house to get the car started. and battery drain issue. Still in 2023 I think its a stupid system, it completely removed mechanical security from the car.

Did you complain about using keys *_before_* push-button starters were a thing?

I agree. It’s not a big deal but it is annoying.

I mean how close are you that it hits your knees or you fairly tall

Must be a small car

+derockn00 Don't mention that around here. Everyone's a technology evangelist, even though most of them couldn't write a line of Python to save their lives.

+asdf072xxp lol ikr python is for plebs. its as easy as 1+1

derockn00 kek! I'm not badmouthing Python. It's great for what it does. I'm saying there are a lot of people talking out of their asses.

asdf072xxp python so easy its for plebs

derockn00 Right. That's which I didn't put Scala or Haskell.

^ lmao Mr. Green

There's nothing more satisfying than turning a key and hearing your car start, there's no feeling with all this new button crap.

Redonk_Rc Well now.......I can think of "one" thing more satisfying, right off the top of my head. (double entendre *NOT* intended)

Redonk_Rc If that is the most satisfying thing to you...oh god.

+AzeOfSpadez one of the most car related satisfying things lol

How do you lock the keys in the car? Every single car made with power door locks automatically unlocks the doors if you attempt to lock them with the keys still in the ignition.

Bullshit, samsung have multiple waterproof with headphone jack phones.

Gregory Guza apple cut off the head phone jack because they were too cheap to actually seal up the jack port. Then made a lame excuse that it would be impossible to creat a headphone jack for the 7, only for a man living in China to actually make one.

they claim the headphone jack is old technology but they include it in their newer macbook and ipad. heck, even the professional music players costing $1,200 have the headphone jack and pro headphone maker like sennheiser and audiotechnica still make headphones with the audio jack. the pro headphone makers knows there's nothing technically wrong with the headphone jack

Except car manufacturers have been doing this waaaaay longer. Apple doesn't have shit on car manufacturers....

Bicc OG you would not listen to it on your newer macbook nor ipad either, those hardware are not design to reduce noise and distortion like a dedicated pro music player. so why include the headphone jack. apple is not part of the audio engineering consortium that set standards across all platform. apple's ploy is to remove the internal DAC/amp for the audio jack and make you pay more the external DAC/amp. they got greedy and tried to nickle and dime you.

27dcx Too late. Almost all cars have drive-by-wire. I don't think that't really a problem, at least as to ignition on my cars, one of which is a 2002. Hydraulic steering gives better feel than electric. You do get .01 mpg better with electric steering, though. Drive by wire brakes? I'd expect to see than on the latest $100k+ Mercedes S-Class. Run Flats do suck. I just went to non-run-flats on my MINI Cooper S. I bought a whole set of four from Tire Rack for the price of one run-flat. The ride and handling are both improved. Auto start/stop is also annoying. I've had it in rental cars and a Porsche Boxster I test drove. You could turn off in every one I've tried, though.

drive by wire brakes kek

27dcx I don't think youll have a choice soon

27dcx Looks like you won't be buying any cars then.

Garth Goldberg *"Almost all cars have drive-by-wire."* .....oooookay.

Cars with built in GPS tracking will sometimes be cheaper to insure though.

So? Why make it EASIER to steal with keyless ignition!?! Keyfull ignition with an immobilizer works much better

+Andrew Tolmasoff I've never seen that.

+kajidono Most keyless cars have a *hidden* key switch just ppl never read the manuals x)

+beangie my dodge challenger has that. And his dodge charger in the video also has that. Just pry off the button and you'll see a regular key hole. Which is required if you want to tune your car anyway. Or to completely turn off some traction control in some models of charger and challenger.

My 2013 Durango has that

+Andrew Tolmasoff ..but then he would have nothing to complain about lol

cpfishfan14 they've got a great solution, but it's copyrighted. I especially like the one on older ones. " Fob outta juice? Use your key to get in, then insert the fob!"

when a key fob in a dodge car discarges you can use the key fob as a stick and hit the button WITH the key fob. it gives off a tiny bit of current kinda like how phones wirlessly charge

Yup. The fob for my dad's CLS ran out of batteries, so he just used the key until he could get new batteries. And the best part? It uses regular ol' watch batteries!

The Naked Argonian yeah, Mercedes is good at that.

I imagine that would be "patented", not "copyrighted". It isn't a movie, book, or bit of music.

R Dill Exactly 100 people agree.

defend crappy designs, what do I care. And yes, my car has manual windows, 25 years old and still working strong. All tech is not good tech

Scotty Kilmer well, if you call it crappy design it wouldn't hurt to have some arguments behind you. All the video presents are generic reasons why new technology comes with a risk of more things going wrong, which is totally true but the rewards are worth in my opinion. Planes also brake sometimes, yet they are an integral part of our society because the reward is worth it. Coming back to keyless, as long as the manufacturer put some backup in place for the situation when the system fails or your remote battery runs out (which most manufacturers do), I think it's a system worth having.

Electric windows or air conditioning or other nicety features breaking doesn't completely disable the vehicle though. Also electric windows and air conditioning have actual legitimate benefits that make them worthwhile like being able to operate all the windows alone without pulling the car over and parking or not dying of heat stroke in traffic in direct sunlight. Push button start doesn't save anything at all except having to remove the fob from your pocket...woah all that stressful maneuvering...you still have to reach up with your hand and manually engage the ignition switch, they just made the switch unnecessarily complicated.

matthew scott How does keyless breaking "completely disable the vehicle"?! You can still use the key as you would if the car wasn't equipped with the keyless option. At least that's how it is on german cars, not sure about american ones.

There isn't an ignition key at all on any of the ones I've seen. You can see the car he's showing in this video there is nothing but a button to start the car. The key he pulls out does nothing but open the door/trunk so you still have access if the battery dies in the car or the fob. If the fob battery dies or there's some connection issue then you can't start the car at all. He said it was $1500 fix for the car he's talking about, and although that's probably on the high end, it's potentially enough to keep your car out of commission for a while if you don't have the cash. All that for something that offers pretty minimal convenience. On the other hand a typical low-tech keyed ignition system is very unlikely to fail before the end of the vehicle's life, and even if it does it's fairly simple and cheap to service.

+Alex T really fascinating cars for the ultra rich to drive.

+Daniel K many rich people are asses, but not all, for example, I'm a millionaire from youtube vids, as I will soon have my 100 millionth view before 2016 begins. But I relate to regular middle class people from whence I came. I've seen too many evil rich people in my time to like many of them.

+Scotty Kilmer Wow if you really became a millionaire from youtube then I congratulate you sir because your videos have save me A LOT of money by repairing my own cars. Many thanks and well wishes to you.

+Daniel K the guy is full of himself... these rant videos prove it. All he's doing is trying to convince us why HE thinks something is bad. Never gives any logical reasoning other than HE said it's bad. Just look at his video rant about Mercedes vehicles..."It gives TOO MANY trouble codes... so it's junk!" seriously... little informational messages such as a tail light is out is all it takes for this guy to fly off the handle like this. "I've seen too many evil rich people in my time to like many of them." he says. By his logic, anyone with more money than him is automatically evil. What a prejudice ass...

+Scotty Kilmer Congrats to you Scotty. Love your clips, and I hope I can be your 100 millionth viewer.

Wrong battery, [almost used a terrible word here, but I'll give the benefit of doubt]. Try ~$100+ for a decent battery.

+Alex M just open the battery compartment on the key, go to CVS, and get the same battery.

WRONG BATTERY.

He means the battery under the hood.

They make these keyless systems for people who think like U...clueless!!! lol #WrongBatteryDude

im fine with that, my window regulators barely work and my lock buttons don't work at all

They still make sone cars like that but you have to seek them out.

Andrei Vlad 10 sounds a bit much. 1.5 maybe.

Andrei Vlad I've never felt inconvenienced putting a key into my car.

***** OH , twisting that key, just SO hard. Eventually humans will become muscle less blobs hooked up to computers.

Scotty Kilmer Wall-E was correct.

Scotty Kilmer Agree there, Scotty. I don't get the endless need to simplify things and make things effortless.

At least that was a fun experiment, causing variation in the car world, rather than a frustrating gadget.

I totally agree. It was a fun endeavor. It's a shame how inefficient it was considering it's size.

Porno Corner It brought us interesting vehicles The Mazda RX-7 is still a very capable car and very popular in the street scene. There must be something right with it. In a way, the RX-8 was ahead of it's time. We now have more stupid downsized cars, and though it may not have been efficient, the RX-8 got more power out of a smaller engine. It was only 1.3 2-cylinder Wankel engine and produced 192 and 231hp for the performance version. Only without stupid turbos like we do now. The Renesis engine even won prizes. In 1991 Mazda won the 24hr Le Mans with a rotary engine. It's not as useless as you say. Mercedes made a 350SL with a rotary engine 60kgs lighter than the 3.5 V8 but 120HP MORE!!! It didn't go into productuion, but still!! . In 2010 Audi made the A1 e-tron. The electic engine\s batteries are charged by a rotary engine. It has it's benefits of being light, doesn't send much vibrations in the powertrain and it is superefficient. It only uses 2 litres fuel per 100km.

It's not stupid, it's just a different compromise between some of the requirements. It offered reduced NHV, reduced weight, and reduced size for a given power output, but ultimately it could no longer be kept up to date with efficiency and emission requirements. However, a fixed speed, fixed load rotary engine can probably be tuned for about as high efficiency as any other kind... now think where that could be useful? As a back-up generator on electric vehicle for example. But chances are, it won't be done because of the cost of engineering.

Well shit. Today I learned something new. Thanks for your insight.

At least Ford makes you pay Extra for a push button start on the Maverick Truck and you can only get push button start on the Highest end Lariat trim.

In my personal opion I think the older BMWs are more fun to drive can't beat a good E46 330i

Especially with ZHP!

I barely have any buttons and I fucking love my car (M50 e34)

MiGujack3 I miss my old 525i shame corrosion killed it.

xDLXSFx I wouldn't mind the remote fob for my E46 either, but you have up admit, we have some shitty ass key range. And little do you know, your BMW has many computer electronics inside as well.

he is complaining about new tech in every video he made.

With Nissan they have a spot that you can stick the key in and charge it when the battery gets low to start the car. I think he was just tryna get people stirred about little things like this

Not anymore on the newer Nissans

Harrison Edgar oh really do you know why they did?

CMurda14 Yes. Because of cutting cost, and forcing you to go back to the dealership!

You are soooo right amen

that's why people need to stop buying new cars

Aldous Forest i agree but try to convice people who are hooked up on a violent consuming machine keep buying ,,,keep buying on with the new ....

Ryan Rohauer your just repeating what i said yes the expensive ones are the first to get it later on all cars both econo boxes and expensive ones will be like that

Faisal Abdulaziz You right bro keep every body in the game

Lol thats what happens when you buy junk.

I have a Nissan Cube. That's happened to me a couple of times. What I did was put the car in neutral and turn it on that way. That seemed to work. You will have to use a screwdriver or something to push down the shift lock button, though. Yes, it's annoying but it's rare it happens to me

complaining about the nissan and there's a dodge on the video, smh

Yeah the new Premium 4runners all come with push start. So I'm getting a base TRD off road instead and saving a few thousand dollars.

nes Indeed it is! My remote stopped working and its barely 2 years old.

GadgetsNGear If a key fob fails the other key fob will lock/unlock/start the car w/o any issues at all. If the immobilizer unit fails the car won't be starting at all.

MrSlowestD16 that's my point, this isn't inherently any less reliable than any car fitted with an immobilizer. I'd think that failures of the vehicle side system are extremely rare. I've had it on my last two cars and LOVE it.

GadgetsNGear Yeah, it's not any less reliable while there is a key override...and I haven't seen one that hasn't. It'd be especially dumb to make one w/o a key override because then you couldn't get into your car if the battery died or something - you couldn't even get in to pop the hood and jump the car, lol. I don't think any would do that.

GadgetsNGear I had my battery die in my car recently and was unable to unlock the door. I was so ahead of the times that I forgot my car had a key with it. I was able to unlock the car, but I had to climb into the trunk through the backseat to get my jumper cables. I couldn't imagine having a keyless vehicle with a dead battery.

DE Nichols Yeah, but it's in every owner's manual, so "RTFM" comes to mind :-P. Otherwise you could just google it for your model and I'm sure you'd get 100 hits, videos, etc.

Frank Upton if someone really wants to steal your car it does not matter if it's keyed or keyless. They gonna do it anyway cuz cars have ports for connecting a hardware device. All cars that come with a computer chip can be started with a laptop and some software. Donst matter if it has a key or not.

then buy a silent pocket put it in and hackers cant

they still can be

I assure you, I can "hack" a non keyless car just as easily with a slim jim and ignition puller.... =P older cars are even easier, a coat hanger, screwdriver, and a pair of pliers...

Billy Severt you can hack any modern day car with a radio transmitter, yes it's hard but it does happen. The key to make things more secure is less code

I'd bet you lost enough on the trade transaction to pay for a new keyless ignition 5 times over.

Manual or auto?

@@billlaurens1907 no

Maybe, I have to do it with my Toyota Yaris is 2018... the keyless didn't work and I went to the dealer and lucky me..the warranty covered the replacement.

you missed the point.

+Sofa King Nissan keyless have really poor battery, but it still works (unlock and recharge) when you plug it in the socket in the car. Not what this man is implying here. My wife's nissan teana's keyless battery died in 4yrs, I didn't bother to change the battery, just unlock the doors with the actually key, and plug the whole thing in the socket to start the car.

Joz Sun I never plugged it into the socket, it just works like its intended to work so idk what the problem is lol. And changing the battery takes 30 seconds to do.

Brian Y. LOL what's the point? I always kept my key fob in my bag or back pack, never ran into any problems, battery lasts for a long ass time. I have experienced absolutely no down side and my car is a 07.

+Sofa King Nice G

Hunter Gamer Drone and snorts and injects and eats.... and sniffs. Lol

IVAeroVI haha right

But he's great

Who cares. I personally didn't come here to critique the guys personal life. I came to learn something by following the Title of the video..and he delivered.

Austin Rivers If you had a key there would be nothing to fix. It's the car company's way of screwing you over. Dumd Ass!

+Philip Rosenthale which battery are you talking about? if you are talking about car battery, whether your car is key or keyless start, your car won't start if you car battery is dead.

+Manny “Knix” Lopez he means the smart key battery, if that key battery is dead, then there is no way to start the car, unless you call for a ride or walk to the store to buy a new one.

jmanyes on my RAV4, even if the smart key battery is dead, i can still start my car. Just touch the key fob to the start button and in 2 seconds i can start my RAV4. i don't know about the other car brand but it works on my RAV4. i even removed the battery to test it. I found that trick here on youtube.

+Manny “Knix” Lopez Wow, those keys are smarter than i thought lol.

the first time i watched this video, i thought i'm screwed once my key fob battery died. i searched it on youtube on "what to do if my 2014 RAV4 smart key battery dies". i found a video on how to start my RAV4 when the smart key battery dies. The guy even removed the battery to prove that you can still start the car. For curiosity, i removed the battery in my key fob. First, i tried to start it with the key fob in my pocket..it didn't start. Then i tried to touch the keyfob to the start button, in 2 seconds start button light turns on and Voila...i can start my car.

+Scotty Kilmer HAH xD

you mean "stud".
