A broken wireless key doesn't generally render the vehicle inoperable. Most/all cars have a physical backup key.

- falcolas 5y agoMy vehicles do not (and the instructions for most "keyless" starting mechanisms is the same). They will emit an active RF signal to read the key as a backup to a dead battery, but if the chip is dead the car won't start. The backup key is for opening the door.
- josephcsible 5y agoBut isn't that failure mode almost unheard of, or at least as uncommon as a physical key breaking apart?
