Uni Africa Auto Everything About Cars
Keyless cars look sweet. No twisting key like old Corolla, just press button and the engine purrs. But let me tell you, this thing get wahala you need to know.
First is relay theft. Thieves in Lagos and Abuja now carry small devices that capture your fob signal. Before you shout “Oga driver,” the car don move. Always keep your fob far from the gate or window, and use a Faraday pouch or even wrap it in foil when sleeping.
Second is the fob battery. When it dies, you will not start your car. Picture yourself stuck on Third Mainland Bridge at 1 AM. In Nigeria, fob batteries cost about 1,500 to 3,000 Naira depending on the brand. Carry a spare in your glove box.
Third, many drivers do not know that most keyless cars hide a physical key inside the fob. That small metal blade can open the door when the battery fails. Check your manual and know where it hides.
Finally, keyless cars are sensitive. Nigerian rain, bad mechanics, or fake batteries can mess them up. Always get the battery from trusted shops, and do not allow roadside electrician to tamper with your fob.
Keyless is comfort, but security and preparation matter. Protect your investment and avoid stories that touch
