Is there a warning when the key fob battery is getting low? I know my battery has been changed at least once or twice at a service center, but don't know when the last one was. Yesterday I left to go to the store and had no problems with it unlocking the car and starting. I got to the store, went inside and got some groceries, came back out with my hands full and the car wouldn't unlock. I had to use my phone to unlock the car and when I tried to start it the message "No Key" came up. So I used my phone again to start it. Thank goodness for this. I was really surprised there was no pre-emptive warning. Got home and tested my wife's fob and it works fine. I know it isn't because buttons were pushed in my pocket as it actually is in a holder on my belt loop not in my pocket. I ordered two batteries, one to keep in the glove box.
Now that I write this, it seems there is something I read which I will go try now. Something about placing the key somewhere near the driver's side windshield and also something about a place inside the car, maybe a cup holder, to place the key where it will unlock the car and start the car when the battery is dead. I will update after my tests.
