Wife drove off while I had our keyless fob in my pocket. Once she stopped, she then couldn't restart the car without the key. Is this an issue that manufacturers should rectify?
Why do keyless-start vehicles have key fobs that don't need to fit into an ignition type device in the vehicle to start it? Today, I got into my car and put the key fob in my pocket. After 10 miles or so, my wife took over the driving whilst I visited a friend. The fob was still in my pocket. My wife drove another 10 miles, stopped to get some shopping and could not restart the vehicle as I still had the keys! I'm in the doghouse now.

Keyless start is intended to be more convenient. As you've found, that isn't always the case...

I put my key fobs in a small biscuit tin in the house. Is this just as good as a Faraday Bag I could buy online?
I have replaced my key fob batteries on a couple of occasions but it still indicates that the battery is low. Am i missing something here that i should do after installing new batteries?
I saw this posted in a reply by our local police force in response to a query about Faraday pouches. Were you aware they wore out?
