2024 Tacoma key fob battery

[Taco Golfer]

The battery on my key fob died today after 6K miles and 6 months. Has anyone else experienced this?

In previous gens, sure. It's an easy thing to replace.

Make sure they (key fobs) are not close to cell phones. IE same pocket, storage tray etc. Even short times together will significantly reduce battery strength.

My brand new truck came with a dead battery in the key fob!

I've never heard of this before, why would that cause the battery to drain?
