how embarrassing for the AA roadside assistance team

I recently had to use my Toyota Assistance programme (provided and serviced by the AA) as my Toyota Yaris Hybrid would not let me in and once entered would not start

I have tried to provide this feedback via the AA system but it seems they do not wish to receive it, so I post it here in order that owners of my model of vehicle and other similar Toyota cars are able to help the roadside repair man should they prove ***********

just a bit of feedback for you that may be important for similar call-outs (and explains why I can only give poor rating for the job)

I have fixed the problem very simply with help from a friend who drives a VW

The solution is so basic it is embarrassing and considering the assistance was provided under my Toyota Assist programme hard to believe it was not known.

Replace batteries in car key fob - it was that basic

The car doors open and the car now sees the key is within the car and starts

Please make sure this is recorded in your system so that on future call outs to such keyless entry smart keyed cars it is at least considered
