Makes me glad I only buy old bangers, I was never fond of keyless entry on the newer cars and my wife's Toyota being keyless meant the physical key never got used and when the car battery died we couldn't enter the car as internals of the door lock had jammed (no lube coul fix it).

When we start buying newer cars and they have keyless, they're going to be covered with RF blocking material and placed farther from the front door of the house.
that happened to the volvo 850 25 years ago when the remote central locking came out ... the physical lock was never used and the mechanism seized ...
