Very fortunately the car in question has a semi secret key slot hidden under the handle and the key fob has an inbuilt key which can be slid out should there be an issue with the key fob operation... Very Germanic design...(-: Though having typed that, if the car`s main battery goes flat, as it seems a few may do if laid-up for months, trying to gain access to the battery under the electrically released bonnet, has caused grief for numerous folk..... Though in reality there is a simple work around, which for some can be less than convenient dependant on circumstances...
The digitisation of everything seems to have a dumbing down effect on the general populace and the configuration of systems at times seems to defy any kind of basic electromechanical logic..?
Rant over, time for this Luddite to stop typing....
