Can you unlock a car with a remote?
The other day my GF tried to get into the car and the doors would not unlock with either remote, and she had to try several times with the physical key to unlock the door. The car started fine, and she had no issues later that day. Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
Why does my Remote key not unlock the door?

There could be an electrical issue that prevents the fob from connecting to the door’s receiver sensor. These are mostly the reasons and troubleshooting options when a remote key won’t unlock car door.
Where is the key for unlocking the car door?
Vehicles have a physical key for locking and unlocking the door. If you close and open your car door with the smart fob, this key is likely to be hidden inside the fob. There should be a release button or catch in the remote, pressing which will pop out the spare key. But some vehicles may not have a visible keyhole. Don’t worry.
What to do if your car remote isn’t working?
If you have a push-button key, you’ll have to find the hidden key inside of it, which is used to get into your car if the remote isn’t working. Look for a small button on the side of the key fob that you can press in with your fingernail or slide over to release a small key. Turn the key in the door to unlock it.
