Dont all cars still have physical keys (necessary for dead batteries)?

And don't all cars have a switch to turn off wireless keys?

I can most assuredly tell you that that is not the case, my vehicle does have a physical key hidden away in the fob, it however only unlocks the driver side door, that's it.

Ok cool, I have entered my vehicle with the key alone, there is no possible way to start it without the fob. Save possibly a flipper,

Usually theres a place to insert the fob, then press Start

This works without a battery. Its passive.

Well for me it does not, hell my car doesn't even have a oil or transmission dipstick, they have taken those away and run the info through the infotainment console.
