    I have a 2019 regal. Here in Jan. 2022 2032 batteries have become unobtanium. What a pain in the rear. Love the car, absolutely hate the keyless ignition. Thanks for your excellent explanation.

      You're welcome. And in case it helps, CR 2032 batteries can be bought in nearly any retail store that sells any batteries. Just picked up two a few weeks ago (obtanium!). In the meantime, you have a back up plan...

    Thank you!...I have a 2017 Buick Lacrosse with the removable key and could not determine what I had to remove on the door handle to reveal the lock until I watched your video which showed how to remove the cover!....and then how you showed the placement of the fob in the console for recognition by my car!...Great Job!

  • @jfnuyen
    @jfnuyen 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thanks for doing this video. I have the 2020 Buick Enclave SUV and you covered all the steps well. You know, I really don't think the salesman understood this procedure because he said something like... one doesn't have to use a particular spot to place the key fob, because the car would recognize the fob (even if dead) if I just sat in the driver's seat. I didn't question him much on this, because I figured he most likely knew more about the vehicle than I did. Thanks for this informative video. 👍

      @@DashboardSymbols Yes, I thought he might be wrong on his advice, but I figured I would eventually learn all I needed to know about the vehicle by studying the manual and doing some research. Your videos tend to bring the manual instructions to "life." I think I have a pretty good "handle" on things now.

    Thanks man, the Key fob form my 2017 encore died at the supermarket and my car was telling me to put it in the transmitter but was showing me the layout of a different car (the picture showed I think the regal with the cups side by side instead of the buicks front and back)

    Hi I know this is probably a dumb question but if I've put the key in the spot and the vehicle still doesn't respond is it safe to assume the vehicle's main battery is dead?

    • @DashboardSymbols
      @DashboardSymbols  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No! There could be a problem with the fob itself or the start system. If you have ANY power -- lights, radio, etc. -- find the spare fob (if you have one...). Otherwise, yes, the main start battery is likely the issue...

    My FOB is already on the charger plate but the FOB needs a new battery so the car will not start since the battery won’t charge. I was hoping there was a manual valet key start but nope. 😖

    • @DashboardSymbols
      @DashboardSymbols  ปีที่แล้ว

      There is not a charger plate for the fob. The batteries are not rechargeable. Dropping the fob into the back up start location in the front cup holder will allow the car to start!!!
