Tip for the boat ramp (Page 4): Same as you guys, but I also have a spare key stuffed away in my boat.

Just so you know Bob, you can have a regular key cut without the chip to unlock the door with. It will not start the vehicle, but it will save you from being locked out. Plus it's a whole lot cheaper without the chip.

Now that's something I didn't know. The ignition ket I lost once upon a time was 150 bucks by the time I got done with the key and programming it.

That’s why I love my old truck more and more everyday. I don’t have all those bells and whistles…

I set the brake. Turn off truck. But before all that - I pay my insurance.
Just in case.
But,does nobody have the code to get in their vehicle ?

I have 3 vehicles, and have a key for each of them on a separate key ring, which I carry in a different pocket than the main set of keys. There have been several times that I have laid the main set on the dash when loading groceries, tools, other equipment, etc; and the extra key set have saved the day for me. I think it would be smart for everyone to have an extra key to unlock the door of their vehicle at all times....but that is just my opinion. If nothing else, put one in your tacklebox.

Code? I don’t understand.
I have an app that can unlock my doors. I have a 2016 Buick Enclave and use the Buick app.

My vehicles are too old to have a code....2001 and 2008 F-150's, 2006 Taurus. Thus, the extra keys.

True got one for grandsons ranger. He had a habit of locking himself out. Guess you could get n extra remote n put it in the boat. 👍

👍👍 With you on that Dave. My 2012 titan just logged 227,000 + miles. My 95 f150 had 200,000. When I gave it to my daughter January 2013.

For the first time, I have a boat that is not a kayak, so this weekend will be my first "back down a boat ramp" experience. I have a little popo up camper, so I can back a small trailer, but your suggestions are all great! Thanks, gang!

Best of luck crog. Only suggestion if the trailer starts to stray off course, better to stop, pull up, straighten out and try again. That over compensating turning hard right or left just doesn't always work.

Now that sounds like a good idea and hide it somewhere in a wheel well so i would have it anywhere.

This is on all my trucks.
I have a 2004 F250 with this key pad for entry. Maybe it was an option back then. I took for granted that all vehicles had this key pad.
