Intelligent key stuck in fob(gina)

DearEternity · 06-26-2010, 12:04 PM

So I've searched and looked everywhere, but I seem to be the only person who has this problem.

Just bought the car, and was playing around with it trying everything out. I thought I would try putting the key in the key port just so I knew it worked in case the battery in the key ever died. Im not sure if the fob is broke, or if I just put it in wrong, but the key is stuck. I cannot for the life of me pull the key out (car is turned off, and it's even telling me to remove the key) so I know its not locked in there as if Im driving.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you put it in wrong. Is the loop facing out? If so (even if not) get a pick tool (with a 45 or 90 degree point) and pull it out..

Yes loop is facing out. I put a 45 degree tool in the loop and pulled as hard as I could, and the dash starts warping out and the key stays

Its really in there good :/

Take it to the dealer and have them fix it.

Careful pulling it out, it may be a bleeder....

Eventually, your fob will shrink and slide right out.

I've got a phone number... just in case this persists for 4 hours or more.

Your fob should consider a career in the fob porn industry..
