question for all with the keyhole cover mod

How will you guys get into the car if the battery dies? My battery had just enough juice to unlock the door but what if it didnt? I think the only way in is to break something (window).

You could always take the key cover off. It almost doesn't even require any tools.

to install it i was instructed to keep the door closed and locked so when you pull the handle the door doesnt open and get in your way

i popped mine off in 10 seconds using a flathead screwdriver...you can use a key (carefully) too

to install mine, i removed a torx style screw with the door open. there is a rubber cover that you have to remove then you can loosen the bolt. did everyone else just pop it off with a screwdriver?

i locked my door. pulled the door handle as if i were trying to open the door. and effortlessly pryed the escutcheon off. literally took me all of ten seconds to do.

i didnt use a torx screwdriver at all iirc

yes...but it doesnt roll it up

you need the kpt module to do that with your remote

or you can do it with the keyhole like cruisn said
