  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Can you start a Genesis Sedan with the key?

FYI-That slot does not exist on the base model 3.8L

However; there is a hidden starter testing ignition for the hard key, under the hood, right next to the wiper blade sharpener, tucked in behind the fallopian tubes, cant believe no-one knows about this.

I've also heard the car wont start if you're low on frequency grease. Make sure to check your blinker fluids as well which are located near the wiper sharpeners above and slightly to the left of the fallopian tubes.

To clarify, there's two wireless technologies inside the key (and most other manufacturer keys). The main one is the long range wireless that lets you unlock the car from 100 feet or more, which requires a battery. The second is RFID which only requires a very small amount of power, this power can actually be provided wirelessly by the device that is trying to read it. The drawback is that it is extremely short range, which is why you need to put the fob in the slot for it to be read.

And as noted, there is no way to start the car with the metal key.
 
Why would anybody buy a car that can't be started with a key? If the battery in the fob or whatever goes dead you can't start the car? Don't buy that car.

Interesting post. Are you driving a ‘56 Edsel?

if you really want to learn how a dead battery in the key fob can still start the car read post #7 above.
 
I always carry a hand crank in my trunk for just such situations.
