electronic key problems


miles

Recommended Posts

I drive an '08 Prius and accidentally left my key in the car; got out and locked the door inside as I was shutting the door. This time it locked. Usually, it will beep at me and won't lock if I've left the key in the car. I thought maybe the battery was dead in the key, but, it works fine to open the car or start the engine. Any suggestions?

I noticed that the 2016 4 runner limited

with an electronic key can be turned off while in gear.  This would allow the car to roll if not in fully in park.  A traditional key cannot be removed from the ignition unless the car is placed in park.  Seems odd that Toyota was able to circumvent the the park/ key removal safety feature

Not sure I like the fully electronic key, I'm envisioning several safety and reliability issues.
