Never had this, and I've been carrying the key around for 9 months now.

Jobo · 14th December 2006, 09:29

Never had any problems either!

Velocity · 14th December 2006, 09:33

I haven't had any problems either.

This hasnt happened on the civic but it used to happen with my ZR.
eventually one of the security guards ran his decharger over them and it was all sorted. good luck, i know how embarrassing it can be, it used to happen everyday when i went to work. lol

Um, I'd like to know what those decharging wands actually do before I let them try it on my keys! Remember there is a transponder for the rolling code immoboliser in there, and all the gumf for the remote locking.

I don't know much about it, but I'd be worried that the key will not work in the car after...

Never happened to me with my car keys, but it ALWAYS happens with my company ID badge.

It's a credit card type piece of plastic and you just wave it in front of a sensor to let you in secure areas... This will always set off the alarms; very embarassing!

Never had a problem with my ZR afterwards

Likewise never happened with car keys, sometimes if im doing plain clothes ops my kit sets off alarms in shops which sorta blows the cover!
