Why not just open the door with the key like every car ever

[–] tabular@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's so obvious, then again I think there's some cars out there without even a metal key for the engine. So dumb.

My car (Citroën) has a contact less key, I don't have to get it out of my pocket and the car automatically opens.

But it still includes a small physical key to open the car when the battery (of the car or key) is dead.

The metal key is attached to the contactless key or is it a seperate device?

It's usually stored inside the key fob.
