key fob

A keychain (also key fob or keyring) is a small ring or chain of metal to which several keys can be attached. The length of a keychain allows an item to be used more easily than if connected directly to a keyring. Some keychains allow one or both ends to rotate, keeping the keychain from becoming twisted, while the item is being used.

A keychain can also be a connecting link between a keyring and the belt of an individual. It is usually employed by personnel whose job demands frequent use of keys, such as a security guard, prison officer, janitor, or retail store manager. The chain is often retractable, and therefore may be a nylon rope, instead of an actual metal chain. The chain ensures that the keys remain attached to the individual using them, makes accidental loss less likely, and saves on wear and tear on the pockets of the user.

    Keys - Fob/App/Card/Mechanical

    Seen a couple of posts about people only carrying the fob and having a problem, so what do you have with you? I carry all 4 and have the mech key tucked into the leather holder with my fob.

    Car completely dead - eventually, AA called out

    I parked the MG4 in the Marina Car Park and headed out onto the canal in our Narrowboat. A week later, we returned and went to load up the car for the journey home. The car was completely dead, didn't respond to any attempt to open the doors. Guessing that somehow the 12V battery had failed, I...

    MG3 key as a replacement

    My car only came with one key. It's the flip blade key, a bit like my VW key. I bought a second hand MG3 key that looked identical to my old ZS EV key because I hadn't actually got the car at that point and hadn't seen the correct key. MG say they will program the new key and remove the...

    Car login

    Groan, my last couple of trips have been frustrating. Touching the door handle doesn’t work, but the remote does. Entering and sitting, the car reports,’key not found’. Power up required the NFC card on the B pillar. Locking at the destination worked with the remote, not touch. Returning...

    Battery Key Change - Now won't work

    Hi All, I changed the battery in my key fob today as the "Battery Low" warning kept coming up. Followed all the instructions online and now the key will not work to open the car and the car (MG ZS Long Range 24 Plate) cannot detect it unless I put it in the backup position in the cupholder. It...

    Car locked with the key inside...

    ... and me outside 🥵 I had the key safely zipped up in my heavy duty winter coat - usually have it in my trouser pocket. We stopped for a coffee, and.... I left my coat in the car 😒 As I touched the door-handle button, the car beeped, but locked anyway. I checked the doors, but all tightly...

    Key fob battery

    Yesterday and today I had to use the NFC card because the key wasn’t working. I figured the battery was dead after only six months. The person that designed the fob likely never disassembled it. It is without a doubt the most user hostile fob on which I have changed the battery. Good...

    Key not working in specific locations

    Maybe an odd one, but I’ve noticed in 2 places local to me, one being my doctors surgery and the other being my local Morrisons that my key will not work. I get out and it refuses to lock, I can lock with my phone but key will not work and sometimes when I try to drive off from there it tells...

    Switch off keyless entry?

    I’m concerned about relay attacks where thieves can use the keyless fob in my pocket to drive away the new car. It is an S5 Trophy. I’m perfectly happy just to press a button on the key fob to open the car. I really don’t need keyless. Is there any way just to turn that functionality off and...

    Can you set the boot to unlock with the rest of the car? - S5 Excite

    Can you set the boot to unlock with the rest of the car? - S5 Excite I've had my S5 for a couple of months here in Oz and mostly I love it, but it has a couple of idiosyncrasies which I find quite annoying. The main one is that the boot can only be opened by physically pressing the boot unlock...

    A series of unfortunate events: alarm, then strange yellow warning light

    Had a strange one with Leo the Goth MG4 today, and I thought I'd share the experience here in case the MG4 hive mind has any ideas. From the beginning: We were going into the village. I climbed in, and all the usual lights came on, and I put my foot on the brake. I tried putting Leo into...

    Tailgate Gas Struts

    Couldn't find anything about this so thought I'd make a post myself. Has anyone noticed on Aliexpress you can buy Gas Struts for the Tailgate/boot, it makes it so pressing the button for it on the key actually opens the boot but, you still have to close it yourself. Does anyone have one of these...

    Is there a key combination to remote open the charging port door?

    Hi, This may be ridiculous, and I can't see anything in the manual. Several times when I've had the key in my back pocket, I've received a warning that the charging port door is open when getting into the car. The first few times I presumed I hadn't closed it properly, but I paid particular...
