Key fob question?
Taking a little trip with the wife and was going to give her the 2nd fob. Any issues with both in the car at the same time? I know not to leave one in the car while it is parked.

You should be all right. My wife and I both bring ours on trips as well. fob #1 will take control but the car may sense the other fob in the car and beep the horn if you get out for gas. We don't take the battery out or put it in back. My wife simply keeps hers in her purse and we've driven halfway across the country this way with no problems. Enjoy the trip.

I just picked up my 1st vert. I let my fiancee drive and i follow her in her truck. She started the vert with my keyfob and i accidentally took both with me while following her. No issues if you dont have one in the car after starting. And while riding together, we alway have the two keyfobs in the car.. no issues at all..

Depending on how you set up your initial specifications the car will go through a symphony of flashing lights and horn beeps when you walk away and your wifes key is still in the car and yours is locking the car.

This didn't work for me. I tried putting the fob in a Delaware EZ Pass transponder bag and it still worked. I'll try aluminum foil and see if that works. I'd like to keep a second fob in the car all the time in case I lose the #1 fob while away from home. (Yes, I'm fully capable of doing that).
