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.

    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...

Couple of things I noticed during my drive back that would annoy me over time but overall, I don't think I've ever been so enamoured by a car before.

    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...

    missing emergency key

    Our key fob battery went flat and we had to use the emergency key to get into the car. When I replaced the batteries in both fobs I noticed there was only one emergency key. Has anyone else found this in their key fobs ? Car is a 2023 phev.

    Window operation with keyfob

    I am sure on my MG 5 I could operate the windows with the key fob. I may be misremembering. But the S5 definitely doesn’t have this feature which is annoying. Is it a feature and I am doing something wrong or is it not?

    Potential Fix for MG4 Not Being Available in the App + Build Your Own Automations [Home Assistant]

    I think it’s a common issue for most MG4 owners that the car enters some kind of deep sleep mode where you can’t pull information from it anymore and therefore can’t, for example, preheat the car. My solution (when this happened to me at home) so far has been to go to my kitchen window with the...
