| It’s a coincidence. These things happen, and the fobs just lose their pairing with the car when the batteries are replaced. |

Did the fob work after you left the hotel or was it completely dead the rest of the trip?
Also, you had to remove door trim to manually connect it? Any car I've ever used that had push button start had a slot in the dash or a place in the armrest to use a fob with a dead battery. |

The weird thing was that the fob had a manual key that pulled out of the fob. The manual key worked on the door, but only if you took part of the door handle off. The place to put the key was underneath a trim piece on the handle. There was even a little slot under the trim piece where you could insert the key to help wedge the piece off. Since there was a manual key, I figured there would be a place to insert the key to start the car. But oddly enough, that was not the case. It turned out that there was a sensor inside the storage area of the console. There was a tiny plastic piece where, if you put the fob into it, the car would recognize the circuitry even though the fob was dead. I would've never found that on my own in a million years, and it's very strange that it worked. The plastic fence didn't seem to fit the fob at all - it's not like it snapped in or had a snug fit. It was just a little raised plastic wall that you'd drop the fob into.
