Since you have all the experience, what is happening with my truck and key fob?

I agree about the distance. Our garage key hook thingie is probably less than ten feet from the CR-V, so time will tell if the pouch helps. Can't hurt, I reckon, and I own the pouches now 🙂

Bit of a back story here. My wife drives a hybrid CR-V with push button start and I of course drive my key start Maverick. She has complained for ages about how the spare remote hanging inside the house dies so quickly . I had no idea about what might cause that other than cheap batteries, but...

Instead of fixing it, maybe you can go the other way and get some of those cartoon expletive stickers to put on it. "#@&%$!"

Thanks. I like to think I am pretty tech savvy but after about the third sub-menu on a dashboard, I start to doubt myself. I keep my truck in the garage so it is almost never necessary to remote start, but some days at work it is hot enough that a bit of pre-cooling would be welcome.

Ya know...that explains why my truck is always trying to put the air on, I guess. Most of the time, I do not have my AC on but when it is warm and I start it up, sure enough there goes the AC. I have only used the remote start once or maybe twice but I kind of assumed it would not cool unless I...

They're nice but I wouldn't call them DIKSOAKRs.

I thought you just weren't supposed to put higher octane fuel in than is specified. Is this some old myth?

Grandma's grandma probably redlined horses regularly.

I bought this one shortly before a seven day trip by air where I knew I would be getting back in the middle of the night and sure didn't want to be stranded. Didn't end up needing it though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F9CR89W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

My truck went into deep sleep awhile back. I was going to have it towed to the dealer but, well, long story short, a AAA driver came out and put a jump box on the battery and it started right up. The dealer checked the battery and found nothing. He conjectured an OTA update may have triggered...

I have the chrome ones on my gray truck. It looks just a tiny bit blingy but no complaints.

Last Saturday, I went into the garage and found my hybrid dead - app showed deep sleep. I had driven it the night before so I really didn't understand it. A Triple A driver put his jump box on it and it immediately started. I drove to the dealership and they checked the batteries and found...

I had the same problem but setting up a hotspot on my phone worked immediately. But it said no update was available all the times I did it. Then one day it updated for no apparent reason. I just put this mystery the same mental pocket as the 45 minutes of chirps, clicks and gurgles my truck does...

Building up to getting my Maverick (well over a year ago) I kept saying how I was getting "this little truck." Then it arrived and my wife and daughter both said that it is definitely not little...until I parked next to a Ranger one day. Then they got it.

It's transmitting to the Mothership.

I may have misunderstood this - I was thinking how Amazon is tightening up on returns these days. I have never been (knowingly) scammed there.

The funny thing about IT is when everything is working, people resent how you apparently do nothing, and when everything is broken, people resent how you apparently do nothing. The sarcastic streak this can bring out in your average IT person knows no bounds.

Trying to remember it right...I think the order was placed June 30, and I picked it up Feb 1. So, seven months and a day. It's frustrating to just sit and imagine it on a train or truck. But then there it is on the lot.

It's my first truck, although I have driven trucks for work quite a bit. I traded a Honda CR-V for this Mav, which I liked a lot. Very versatile. But the draw of a truck bed, the good gas mileage with a hybrid, and the affordability sealed it.
