Tried to lock my Fob in the Prius.

Yeah, the first time I did that, I was like, 'Wth? Why won't the car lock?' then it dawned on me...

Great car.

 

I have got to try those...Thanks!

 

I'm not sure you COULD lock it in the hatch from the outside unless someone else also had a fob. I guess I'll try it, with the spare fob tested and available. But if the fob isn't close enough to the lock, and on the outside, I think pushing the button would be no different than telling your passanger to lock the car from the outside after you both closed your doors. I know it won't let you lock the car if any door or the hatch are not FULLY closed so you couldn't even push the button, throw the fob in then close the hatch.

 

I inadvertantly tried to lock a fob in the trunk and the car wouldn't let me. I had mine in my pocket, but we parked somewhere and my wife didn't want to carry her purse. Tossed it in the back hidden beneath cargo shade, and closed the hatch. Pressing the black button just resulted in beeps until I remembered she had the other fob in her purse.

However, there is an outrageous tale of woe on this board, where the fob was locked in the trunk while visiting a water park. In this case, it was a bit easier because SKS was turned off.

For what it's worth: if you want to keep an extra fob in the car, say, in a suitcase on a trip and you don't want to have to carry both fobs with you when you park the car, you can do so by putting the extra fob in an empty Altoids box, or any metal box. Altoid boxes work great and are just the right size. The metal box prevents the signal from being transmitted between car and fob.

Huh! What do you know. Thanks for the tip...
