This was a great and to the point video. I already knew this, but wanted to add a practical, common sense tip of my own. Simply carry a spare battery with you; in your wallet as I do, or wherever is most convenient for you. It's a simple matter of opening the remote key fob and identifying what lithium ion button cell battery it takes. My 2017 TRD Off Road Tacoma takes one CR2025. Your vehicle may take two button cell batteries. Either way, you can do the old hold the key fob against the push button trick, or replace the battery, for a good as new fix. I prefer the latter. 👍

I've known about the key, but the trick with the fob was new and good information. When you touched the push to start with the fob, I heard a chirp in your truck. So I knew that it was going to work the moment you pushed the start button. This gives more options for my hide-a-key fob spare. I can remove the battery now and not have to worry about it.

I like the idea of hiding the key fob without the battery for emergency access and starting but I don’t like the idea of spending $300 for that spare key fob. The car only came with two fobs. Are use one and my wife uses one. I have to get a third in order to hide it. Any other ideas on hidden emergency spares? I’m assuming that whatever signal the fob uses when it’s dead is tied to that car and it’s not just some generic key fob that will work correct?

That is something that I would never have thought about, but it will happen someday, as you mentioned, so this video will definitely be a big help. It was probably somewhere in the owners manual, but hey, your explanation and showing it the way you did, was WAY better than trying to figure it out when the time comes, by reading the manual! HOWEVER, one question that arose after watching the video; I was wondering what would happen if you took that key fob, without the battery, to ANOTHER TACOMA? I wonder if that Tacoma would then start?
