  • 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.

I have an unusual key problem

I like the leather key fob because it won't be so bulky in my pocket. The question I have is if the leather is soft or hard. It needs to be hard enough not to be able to push the buttons while in my pocket. Keep in mind that when you sit down, that applies a lot more pressure to everything in your pocket than when standing. I don't want to spend $59 dollars to find out it doesn't work. Thanks for your help!

All my life I have kept my car keys in my pocket even when at home, however, this is the first time I have ever had a car key with buttons to push to open the doors and trunk. Also, I park my car in the garage attached to the house.

Well, apparently I am accidentally pushing the trunk button on my car key and opening the trunk while the key is in my pocket as I am doing things around the house. Then, my truck becomes unlocked and the trunk light comes on and stays on. When I go out to start the car 3 days later, the instrument panel shows my trunk is open, my battery is low and the Genesis will not start. I work from home and don't use this car everyday. This has happened twice now and each time I have to charge the battery before it starts.

Have you ever come out and found your trunk lid slightly open in the garage?

Do think a hard case will prevent the buttons from accidentally being pushed or maybe I should just not carry the Genesis key while at home.

Why doesn't the trunk light go off after a while before it drains my battery?

Any suggestions, thanks
It’s a badly designed key fob. Happens to my husband with his new Genesis as well. It’s a huge repetitive problem and eventually I’m sure someone will steal our golf clubs or worse. They need a better design.
