I awoke this morning to a flat battery in my MG SUV

Apparently when the battery goes fully flat then every thing shuts down.
Key fob would not work so I could not unlock it even.
I have a jump starter in the vehicle but even if I could have gotten access to it, it would not have worked.
The whole system needed to be reset by a technician.
Why oh why do companies make their products non user friendly?
RAC were called, time taken to reset to usable mode 25 minutes.

On many makes, there's a key inside the fob. Did you look for that?

@PhoenixPhail Yes to that. Where to put the key? It was behind a cover next to the handle. Who knew? Not me. Still, the battery was flat and the electronics needed resetting.
