Key Fob Not Detected Error? How to fix this common error quickly!

[@HighMotions]

OMG you are a LIVE SAVER !! I need to send you a bag of Life Savers. I was just sitting outside my car panicking then I got in and couldn’t start it! You helped me 2x!! THANK YOU!!

[@prodigy900]

Thank you Miranda, this happened on my DS3 Crossback spare key. Dealership wanted to charge for diagnostic £150+vat . Followed your instructions and car paired up with key. Very happy! You saved me money and a lot of time Thank you

[@mirandasmith5650]

Happy to help!

[@ErinNaifeh]

Omg this saved me! You were the only person that mentioned the anti theft. And that was my problem. My key fob said not detected and wouldn’t start with the fob to start button backup. But I had no idea about the security anti theft lock system. It started right up once I unlocked my car with my fob. So thank you so much!!!

[@mirandasmith5650]

Happy to help!

[@Sables123]

Wow. My Malibu 2018 just did this exact thing, the fob would unlock lock. Went to KZbin and you’re the first video that popped up. Now I can leave for work…thank you!!!!!

[@atiyayounger4108]

Thank you Miranda your video was the 2nd video I watched and it was perfect, worked immediately. The 1st video (male Commentator) wanted me to go under the hood and disconnect the battery. Really!! Thank you again

[@delpyguzman5236]

I never comment on videos but you saved my week, my pocket. Good on a Grand Cherokee Laredo 2014. Thanks

[@mirandadrives333]

So glad to hear that! You're welcome! :)

[@mcjohnson9549]

Thank you! I red a bunch of forums etc none of them helped... your trick of using the fob pushing on the start button worked!!!

[@mirandadrives333]

Happy to hear that! No one likes feeling stuck. :)

[@AMJLovesTheLord]

Oh my goodness this was a life saver. It 1:26pm and I’ve been stuck in advanced auto parts parking lots with the “key not detected error. Could start the car, unlock the doors nothing worked and this simple thing saved my life. My kids were in the car and we are in the coldest weekend in the northeast. It’s was close to 30 struggling until I stumbled across this video. Than you so much. God bless you!!

[@dkay636]

This is the best how to video I ever watched on KZbin. So quick and simple. Thank you very much. GOD bless

[@mirandasmith5650]

Thanks for the kind comments! GOD bless you too!

[@JVCPhotography]

Thanks good video. This just happened to me on my JL. I got it started the same way you mentioned.

[@kaitkingston]

This totally saved me today! Thank you Miranda! You rock! 💪🚙 Any advice when you’ve replaced the battery a couple times with different new batteries and you’re still getting the “Key fob not detected” message?

[@LBTheGreatest1]

Thank you , you really just helped me out more than you know ✌️❤️🙏

[@PickleRicardo]

You just saved my vacation with this! Thank you!!

[@Chuckwagon524]

My issue is I can start by pressing the start button like you show, but shouldn’t have to. Truck is susposed to detect keyfob. Changed keyfob batteries too.

[@kenbergren3903]

Thanks for the key fob not detected info. I will try it on my 2014 Dodge Challenger tomorrow

[@dewayneoverton466]

It works!! I got the not detected code and I followed the video!! Thanks 😌

[@weiwu1929]

Wow you just saved me! Car started!!🎉🎉 😃😃😃Canceling my roadside assistance. Thank you so much! 😺

[@TamirylAuvahn]

It works on my chrysler 200 THANK YOU

[@lillychrismer1570]

I replaced battery in key fob and it still won’t start and still says key fob not detected. And when I tried to start the wiper turned on but not the car. Any suggestion or clues

[@raylee1187]

Did u remember what u had to do mine is doing exactly same thing

[@montyhades]

I figured your comment wouldn't have an answer. These people only tell you how to turn the car on when the battery is dead or low, but they won't tell you the exact title of their video, which is the problem of no key fob detected. Did you find the answer? I'm having the same problem.

[@f6ndillinger819]

Me too

[@dantehooks1603]

​@@montyhades I'm having the same issue, swapped my batteries, still no key detected, only works when the fob is in the pocket, no buttons work on the fob either, got 3 remotes programmed already

[@cesarespino3560]

Good video!! I was freaking out for a bit!! Thanks Lady!!!!

[@mirandadrives333]

Happy to help! :)

[@bishayy]

Don’t understand why everybody making a video feels the need for background music 😳😳😳

[@waggitnshaggit6592]

Yeah I know but why does this keep happening on a truck that’s a 2022? Also why can’t you disable the 3 horn beep when fob has left running vehicle

[@respectfulwhatsup8117]

Thanks I put a new battery on the key pod can you tell me why that had happened is there a problem in the system or what

[@mikeg216]

My wife’s 2019 Cherokee just had this same problem … she had to get out of the car lick it then unlock it with the remote then use the key fob to start it … thanks

[@chumleye1112]

Important information to know. Thanks

[@memyselfandi3242]

LOL.. Second video that says to push the button with your key fob,... its actually just bring the fob within an inch or two to the button and then press the brake and then the button... no need to press with the tip of the fob. That will work, but not necessary.

[@veerpurush1]

Doesn’t worked for me … I think my batteries are fine but somehow it still shows key fob not detected.. I tried your trick but was unable to start the car.. I can lock and unlock the car but can’t start it as it shows the same message again and again … can you still guide me?

[@BashaWrld._.]

Hey same thing happening to me, did you find any solution?

[@1mizlady]

Has anyone found about our issue

[@Pricelessfame]

What if you can’t get inside the car and the key won’t even work or the key fob

[@mrjleex]

Change your battery in the fob every six months. That is the primary cause of problems w/ this device. 3.3 volts works. 3.02 doesn't.

[@ivanyamanaka26]

My renegade key fob has a new name brand battery now! ( never use generic batteries!)... Only issue I have now is the automatic rear wiper: does not turn off when it's not raining, so I just leave it off.

[@ClawBoss]

Do you have any aftermarket LED bulbs installed? My truck does it but I was told it’s because of the LEDs

[@ivanyamanaka26]

@@ClawBoss turns out my new battery didn't last very long! (A month) Now I use name brand batteries, Only one LED for the reverse light (never got around switching back) but had it long before the issue.

[@hankfoto]

Miranda, Thank you!!!

[@monisha4239]

Thanks a lot🙏 You saved my day❤️

[@alfonsoguzman7145]

How do you fix that problem I have all new batteries and it still does this

[@karenhollis9478]

Thank you for the video - I replaced my battery but how do I reprogram or reset it. Thanks!

[@TheSupermaria0509]

Do you reprogram your key control hopefully you asnwer my questions thank you

[@mcampbell1124]

This didn't fix anything. Simply how to start with fob. How do you fix a fob not detected error when the remote has a good battery?

[@Piye21]

It worked! Thank you so much

[@dennisquealy1803]

The only problem with using the key to get in is the horn alarm goes off and if this trick doesn’t work, put your ear plugs in while waiting for the tow truck.

[@rmsouza]

That s the answer no one came up

[@winginitwithjohn8451]

My 2020 Ram 3500, spare key fob is dead, I replaced the battery in it 3x, still nothing, wont unlock doors etc. Suggestions? My primary fob works normal. Does these get DE-programmed from not using?

[@mirandadrives333]

I'd try taking the tip of the key fob and pressing to the start button as well. It should re-sync. If it still doesn't work, it may be defective and you should probably see a Chrysler service dept.

[@itsme_abir]

Hi. Thats not a fix. Thats just work around. I changed the battery but still getting same error

[@mirandasmith5650]

It works in a pinch if you're stuck somewhere and that was the point of the video! Feel free to make your own.

[@beatnikmgk]

also i found if you have your cell phone in the same pocket as your key fob, it wont work either. i had this happen, now i make sure they are in separate pockets

[@queenbea5060]

Thank you lady 🤦‍♀️

[@grzegorzm9979]

i am able to run car in that way, but why start/stop buttins are no reacting? disprogrammed mayby

what if your key fob has a new battery and the same problem pops up almost every time?

[@dashtyATG]

I've the same issue but don't think they on to this question

[@scootypuffjr.]

It's a Chrysler. Expect this kind of nonsense.

[@TheMommyofAlyssa]

Same issue here. It's annoying and I wish someone would comment on a fix.

[@BadWeatherfreak]

Having the same issue in a 2018 ram 1500.

be nice to hear you without the overloud music in the background

Step out of the car. Press the unlock button for 5x. On the 5th time, press and hold for 5 seconds.

[@jakejenkins9395]

Misleading title. This doesn't fix the problem, this bypasses one possible cause

[@mirandadrives333]

Seems to have helped quite a few people on this thread so far. Perhaps you should make your own video and title it however you want.

[@bereniceperez8706]

Hello, I've tried this already i even change my battery and it still says key fob not detected, what should i do now

[@mirandadrives333]

Does the key fob lock and unlock your doors? If not the battery might be in it the wrong way. Open the key fob, flip the battery and try again.

[@bereniceperez8706]

@@mirandadrives333 it does unlock and lock the car, thats what's so crazy to me.
