key fob emergency key

Check your key fobs for the emergency key inside.
When we collected ours, in a moment while the sales chap was away from the desk, madame idly pulled open the key fob.
No emergency key! The other fob did have it.
Pointed out that normally she uses one key and I have the other.
He ordered the missing emergency key we has just arrived.£86!

don't have an mgs6 but an mg4 urban with the new 'car shape' fob. there's an emergency key in one of the fobs i have. no idea if it's actually going to work

Thanks @KevReg, this is a good reminder to check to see if both physical emergency key blades are present with a new car, quite often a new car will have a flat battery, and the remote key fob won't work, so the Dealer has to use the emergency key to access the vehicle. So you can imagine how these tiny key blades can easily go missing.

Yes, that's what the sales guy said. But they sent the second key part for free!
I read on another MG model forum and he was told only ONE emergency key is/was provided.
But with 2 drivers each usually has "their" key.
Purpose of the post (and possibly forum wide for ALL models) is to have people check, so if the worst happens, that's NOT the time to find it missing!

Just checked mine and I have a blade in each fob.

Just checked both of mine and both have blades, it's been a useful post this has, although I'm starting to wonder if the full silicon key cover is such a good idea.......

Silicone covers are definitely not a problem! MY key fob cover on the other hand.... THAT'S a problem if I need the emergency key! It's metal and you need to unscrew two tiny screws in order to get it out of the cover. Good luck with that in the middle of nowhere (where you're guaranteed to be when shit hits the fan)

Was tongue ic cheek, if needed I can get it.
