Default Key not detected???

This morning when I was heading out to school, I try unlocking the car with the key fob, but there was no response, so after a few min of switching back and forth between the back up key fob and pressing the unlock button, I still couldnt unlock the doors.

When I finally got in the car, I couldnt start it. it prompted me to touch the key fob with the ignition and then voila! it started after that. Since I couldnt start the car with either the master key or the replacement key, is low key fob battery the culprit here?

and also, how do you manually unlock the car??

thanks for all the help!

yep, i tried, but no response. I had to stick a mini broom through the trunk opening to unlock the door because I didnt know how to manually do it so dumb of me.

This just happened to me a few days ago. Change your battery in your remote. It's dead!

Its a cover on the right of the button on the handle that you pry it off from the bottom. You can use the mechanical key to unlock the door.
