FOB Question

I bought a '05 last week and I love it. The saleperson I bought the car from mentioned that I would need to insert the FOB in the FOB holder about once a month to allow it to sync. Is this true? I can't seem to find any information related to this and I can't think of a reason to need to sync.

 

Thanks for the reply. "Fob holder" was the best I could come up with - not really "coinable." I was dealing with the worst car salesperson I've ever worked with; he gave me almost no information whatsoever and apparently when he gave me information it was garbage - so I guess I'm lucky he did keep his mouth shut most of the time. I almost felt bad buying from this guy because I didn't want to reward his incompetence.

Luckily I found places like this to do my own research before I bought the car and I didn't have to rely on him. I've learned a lot on this site and some others so thanks to everyone that has taken the time to provide all of information they have gained from their own research and experience.

BTW, I'm not sure what model I bought, but it was the lowest end one the mid-atlantic (Northern VA) dealership had. The car came with smart key, auto dim, single CD, auto mirrors, auto windows, auto locks and climate control. It doesn't have the extra air bags or vehicle stability, no fancy headlights or CD changer, no bluetooth or nav - I fall into the cheap category of buyers ( not really an environmentalist, at least not the way it's commonly defined) and didn't see a need for any of that extra stuff. The color is Tidal something - it's a dark gray with an underlying green to it.

 

I like it too and I like the fact the it's discontinued - it will make it easier to recognize in a parking lot full of Prius'.
