Intelligent key stuck in fob(gina)

DearEternity · 06-27-2010, 12:23 PM

I recall reading the manual and it saying "place key into key port if battery dies." So I put the key in.........bad idea :/

Wow that sure is in there really deep. It feels good to put it in all the way some times

I would get this to a dealer pronto. Break the key and you're looking at a nice chunk of change.

Can you get some strong string or fishing line through the loop and pull it out. Maybe use a thread and need, but bend the needle a bit so it curves around.

I'm surprised it just doesn't fall out

I mean seeing how big the "gina" is and how small the "key" is

See how stuck it is though?

Ummmm...That doesn't look like my FOB... My top looks smaller... Also (if it's right) you've pushed it in past the spring stops. That may explain it. YOu can feel the spring latch snap onto the two indents on the sides of the fob. It just takes a gentle push. When snapped in, it sticks out further than your picture shows...
