Today I went to Japan and by accident took the car key with me. The car keeps working until you turn it off. My wife also didn't realize it until she was at home after bringing me to the bus station, and we had no idea where the other car key was.
A while ago I put those Samsung Tag 2 devices on the two car keys. On the one I took the battery was empty. But I could see on my phone that the other one was at home when I left 5 hours ago.
I'm the only one with an android phone, wife and doughter have iPhones, so it's incompatible. I have my old S9 at home, but somehow the PIN didn't work after my wife found it and charged it, damn.
Then I remembered that our son has a Samsung tablet. We installed the Find app on it, but I have several samsung accounts, had to figure out which to log in with. Password is over 30 chars long ... Wife installed WeChat to copy over the password I send to her phone via Element. She logged in and all items showed up, but no connection to car key.
Tension is high, the three years old is cranky grandma arrives, without car key thw whole week will be impossible to work bring the kids to school and kindergarten, etc.
So wife goes down to the car, perhaps it's in there, 5 minutes connection times out, no car key. She goes up again to the flat, no connection still ...
She clicks around in the app, suddenly it shows "Connecting ..." OMG it's happening!
It connected! I try to explain that she needs to press the 🎵 button, but everyone is too exited they don't hear me through the video chat while I'm at the airport in Japan.
They move around with the tablet, signal is getting stronger, they find the 🎵 button and press it, daughter is listening carefully it must be in the wardrobe, very faint sound pipipip pipipipi ... It's in the golf bag! Last time after golf my wife tossed it in there and used the other key ever since.
What a relief, no need to get a rental car!
