I tried searching past posts but didn't really find what I was wanting to know. This forum has so much good information!
My 2015 Mirage DE has a key with push buttons to unlock and lock the doors. I understand it has a chip inside and I assume it also has a battery inside. Maybe I should find out which kind to keep one on hand.
If the battery inside the key dies does it affect the key's ability to start the car? Its not a push button start, but a traditional insert the key and turn.
I think my local Ace Hardware can duplicate modern car keys. Will they be able to make a duplicate just for door opening purposes?
I thought i was pretty car saavy but I am about 10 or 15 years behind. Awhile back I tried to help a damsel in distress in a parking lot who couldn't get her luxury SUV to start. I sat inside to assess what was wrong and if maybe I could help. I couldn't even figure out how to work her car! Haha
