I've been thinking, what happens when the battery in the fob goes dead? There isn't a place for the mechanical key to start the car. If you stick the fob into the manual slot, is there an inductive magnetic field to power it up enough to authorize the car to start?
Mechanical key to enter the car. Fob in slot will work with a dead fob...don't know if it's magnetic, I think it's some RF thing, but it'll work.
You are replying to a 17-year-old thread, is there a question in there somewhere? Or are you making a statement? Is this to do with your Prius c?
