Why Key Fob Lockouts Happen More Here

Hyde Park isn’t just beautiful—it’s the perfect storm for fob lockouts.

Here’s why:

• Push-to-start confusion: Drivers think the fob is on them… but it’s in the cupholder.

• Fob inside purse: Left on the seat during errands or shopping trips.

• Auto-lock timing: Fobs too far away from the car when doors close.

• Busy lifestyle: Parents juggling strollers, laptops, gym bags.

Add valet services, side-street parking, and hectic schedules—and you’ve got daily lockout risk.
