      The lack of a mechanical door lock is, in my opinion, a safety hazard. If you can’t get back into your car when you need to you could be in trouble. This especially true in the winter or during a storm. The lack of a key to get into the trunk is also bad news. If you need jumper cables or other emergency supplies in your trunk you are out of luck if the battery is dead.

      @@doctorkdsify The drivers door key cylinder does in fact have a mechanical connection to the door latch on this vehicle. "Scotty" apparently couldn't take 5 minutes to look at service information (or look more carefully inside the door) to learn this fact. Instead he publishes a ridiculous video and convinces folks that "New Honda's are Crap". Likely the lock cylinder was not properly installed by the body shop when drivers side was repaired. Moral of the story.....don't believe what you see on youtube!!!

      I would be surprised if Toyota was doing a different thing. It's a little hard to believe that only Honda is doing this. It's also fair to say that the frequency of your battery being utterly dead throughout ownership is rare. The juice needed to unlock a car is minimal at best. These are important things to consider.

Fantastic car. My new Accord is also very nice and comfortable inside and drives great. Though it does have more plastic, but that's not really new for a Honda vs Acura.

    A better idea than leaving the window rolled down is to wire charging wires to the battery.

Then take the cables off and go directly to the battery to get a jump start.

      You need the long bar with a J-hook at the end. It goes in at the upper right (or left) corner of the door, and you can use a small plastic pry to get that long bar in. I used to work in roadside assistance and sometmies I'd get a lockout call. And of course once you're in you're good to go.

    Your comments on how to do the ideal battery set up. Expecially for my travel SUV where I’m using a second battery for medical devices. What “Two” battery setup would increase our chances of having the electronic car responsive to the keyfob, and also use an additional battery for auxillary travel devices. People who take temperature sensitive medicines, would be smart to travel with a little fridge in their SUV in the summer of the desert southwest. Thank you Scotty.

    Scottie, I do want to let you know that a lot of these electric cars with electric locks have a positive terminal underneath the body of the car, so you can connect a jumper cable to that terminal and a negative to the solid body of the car.

    Always have a manual backup option. Last car I had was a Chevrolet Hhr. If the battery dies, you will not be able to change the battery. It's in the back of the car, and the back opens only with electricity.

    It seems like the idea of "backup systems" is going out the window. There's a reason why all these smart home locks come with a physical key (which actually makes it easier to break into). Unless you can create a keyless system that can open the car when the battery is dead (say, at least 10x), then don't get rid of the physical key.

After this they changed the secondary back to mechanical means. Still uses the same electric keyless though. Also all Hondas and acuras have a trunk opener that uses the key itself to unlock it, but without a keyhole it’s useless.

    I am fortunate enough to have Corolla Altis 1.6 V (2011), and this car is awesome! If the key battery is dead, I can use the key and it will open the door, eventhough this is electronic. If the auxiliary battery is dead, the doors are automatically open.
