your remote will tell you when the batteries are getting weak. And when they are, the remote will still open the car when you're standing right next to it. Mine did just that two weeks ago. I *THINK* you can still open the car with the key if the remote is dead, but if you don't have a key that is married to the car, you're in trouble "Bob" <uctraingnospamanet.com> wrote in message news:h6r9v1pcc8oq5n3q500iarohipmgco8smcnospamcom... > On Wed, 15 Feb 2006 23:39:56 GMT, "Bill Jackson" > <wjacksonnospamesterdotrr.com> wrote: > >> >>But yea, don't lose that last key, it's big trouble.
