May not be much in the grand scheme of things, but it's still something.

Today my remote went dead for the camry, i found out that there is a mechanical key inside of the remote (nice huh?) so i used it to get inside of the car. The car has 1 small key hole on the driver side and its not big either so thats good.
Also in order for me to start the car. . . Hold on description first: The remote has a Toyota logo on the back of it.( thats all you need to know xD)
So i read the manual and it told me to put the logo(the whole remote, just the back of it where the logo is) on the power button ( Make them touch) and within 5 seconds press the power button to get it up and running. ( while depressing the brake)
Thats crazy shit there o.o
Im not sure why my remote went dead, I do keep it near my computer at all times and I haven't used it for months. ( not my car, it belongs to my dad and he has his own pair)
Im not sure if this works for every car because in the manual it was talking about Hybrid engine. although, I CAN see this tech in every car with the power button.
So if this car does come with the power button, you guys should not worry because the remote key should have/come with a mechanical key.
I love that (when its working, which it will be all the time) you can just walk up to a car and not even have to take out your keys. Also you do not have to take them out when you start the car. You can leave it in your pocket the whole entire time.
Bad thing about this is that if you leave your remote/key in the car, you can get robbed easily XDD
