If the battery's dead, can you still start the car?

PRND[S] · May 28, 2012

Absolutely. Same as with the service / valet key.

Thanks. Always wondered that. So the immobilizer circuitry in the remote is passive?

PRND[S] · May 28, 2012

Yes, I think it is RFID.

langer · May 28, 2012

It is RFID.

What if you lock it with the remote and set the alarm, and then it dies? if you open the door with the key will the alarm not go off?
