    Everything is fixed up except my smart key sensor on the driver side door handle. I loved this feature (I know, I'm a lazy pos) Should I take it back to the shop or is this something I can DIY?

    Well, the whole point of getting repairs after an accident is to return the vehicle to an acceptable state, so...take it back and make them fix it. If insurance paid for it, doubly so because the work wasn’t finished.

    Sorry about your accident, hope everyone was okay, and welcome to TW!

    They must have forgotten to plug the sensor, should be a simple fix ,remove the door trim panel,
    plug sensor and reinstall trim panel

    While We're on the topic, anyone have experience with frame straightening and how precise it can be? Had mine straightened after the accident. I've heard they can get it back to factory tolerances no problem but figured I ask you guys too. Peace of mind I guess
