    Both my wireless FOB devices have stopped working. My car no longer senses the wireless FOB and I have to use the buttons to lock and unlock the car, and put the FOB in the holder to start it. Why did this happen? It started after taking it to the car wash, did they de-activate something?

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Did you check the button under the steering wheel. The left one? Maybe they pushed it and turned your smart key system off.

    thanks. Sorry I panicked because I figured it was more electric gremlins from the big accident i was in when I first got my car. Anyway, like a genius I just had to read the manual and noticed that button a little later that night. Thanks everyone. That was it.
