Re:Something mysterious is blocking car key fobs from workin... by jaaames on Thursday January 31, 2019 @04:21PM (#19048996)
Keyless start cars (e.g. Volkswagen) have a way to start with a dead fob.

If you hold the dead fob against the little key symbol on the steering column it'll power the fob by induction and you'll be able to start the car.

You're right, older fobs that just do keyless entry may not be able to start the car though.
