I'm sure there's some logical explanation, but it's so far eluding me.....

You can also put the windows up by putting the key in the door and holding it in the "lock doors" position

I wish they also did the opposite and rolled them up when you'd hold the lock button on the fob.

I've been thinking that since the Acura days!

I still don't get the point of that hidden key. It will unlock your door, but that's it. Still can't start it. I guess it could be considered handy if you wanted to wait inside the car instead of out lol

Not worth the effort, which results in gimmicky at best if you ask me.

I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure you can use it to start the car if the battery in the fob is dead.

There's a slot on the bottom left of the dash, under the traction control disable, into which you can insert the key and get the car started.

Evidently it serves a purpose.

little different but my mom's car (is250) when her battery was dying caused her windows to roll down in the middle of the night in winter and some random things happening to her electrical...

did you check your battery level in the car?

Didn't realize there was a spot for it.
Ok, apparently not as redundant as I thought!

Edit: went and tried, yep it works. Turns out I did know what slot you were talking about, and had wondered word it was for! Just push the key in then hit start button and fired right up.

Where was the fob when you started it with the key? Anywhere near the car?
