Hi guys.
So I had a problem this morning and it has never occurred to me before.
I've got a cupra 300 with keyless entry and push button start.
So this morning the battery died on my keyfob. So I pulled the little patch off the handle and unlocked the car manually.
This then set the alarm off. Yay, I bet the neighbours were pleased.
So I head into the house to grab the spare key, come back out and unlock it with that which stops the alarm.
I press the start button and nothing. Note on dash: key not detected please put it near the relevant place. (or something like that) which I thought was by the gear stick.
I then realised that the last action of opening the car killed the battery in the spare key. So I had to turn the house upside down to find a coin battery.
My question is.
1. Why when I opened it with the key manually did the alarm go off, not sure what I would have done if I didn't have the spare
2. How in the hell do you manually start a keyless entry car. I cannot for the life of my figure it out.
I feel like I am missing something really stupid.
Thanks.
