What I learned the hard way semi related.

Battery died in wifes Tahoe.

Drove over in the boys KIA to jump it, NG.

Finally called roadside.

He shows up with jump pack. NG.

Just as I'm resigining myself to have it towed to the dealer the roadside guy asks if the key is in the fob.

As we all know push button start cars do still have a physical key that's hidden inside the fob so you can unlock a vehicle with a dead battery.

Turns out, it's also a security feature, if you don't return the physical key to the fob, **** no workie.

Put the key back in the fob, hit start, boom, life was good again.

Tipped the dude $20.00.
