    I was at home and my key fob was dead. Apparently there is no warning of low battery in Ferraris?

    Luckily I was at home and a battery change fixed it. What if I was out?


    Keep a spare keyfob battery in your car! Go do it now before you forget.....

    Thanks for the sound advice. I haven’t opened key fob yet. Can you tell us what size battery it takes?

    I believe you can place a FOB with a dead battery in the slot at the frontmost part of the center console bridge and it will read a FOB with a dead battery and allow the car to start. You'll need to remove the key from the FOB and use it if you want to lock or unlock the doors.
