Pretty sexy I must say :naughty:. The negative is that it looks like it would scratch up easily.

Finally! the old fob was ridiculous. Why use an old key as a fob in the day of keyless go!
|
Yeah, the old key was around for 10 years already.

Why not create a dummy ignition/key holder for it? I can't be the only guy who hates having anything in my pocket while driving. |

Actually, the part I hate is not having a designated spot for the key/fob to go, other then in the cup holder.

There's just something about the act of turning a key to get the car going that I would miss.

I just don't understand why you don't leave it in your pocket.

So do you also take out your wallet and need them to build a wallet holder in the dash?
You like sitting lopsided with something jutting into your cheek? |

No, it goes into the cupholder or stays in my bag.

With keyless start, I'd have to get in to put my foot on the brake. Annoying first world problem, but annoying either way.

Which is why I'm surprised that no auto maker has yet (to my knowledge) made a key/fob holder for guys like you and me.
Personally I'd prefer a "key card" that I could put in my wallet so wouldn't need to mess with a "key" at all. Or have the MB app learn which car is yours, so that your phone becomes the "key" to the car. |

BMW 5 and 7 series cars have a receiver in between the cupholders for the key fob. I'm sure some other models do as well.

Maybe I am mistaken but AFAIK, the E-class can use a smart phone to start the car without any key or app use. I am not referring to remote start... |

I don't understand this statement. What has brake got to do with keyless go? It's simply the act of physically inserting and turning the key that has changed. Everything else stays the same as regular cars. ???

I do not understand why do we need FOB at all. 99% carry phones, and 85% of the phones as NFC capable. FOB is something obsolete. Train your phone for 10 seconds to get all FOB functionality and more and then stash FOB for next car owner. I guess everyone knows where to keep phone, so the problem solved.

Plus as already mentioned, phones die, break, etc. No thanks, but we may see that soon. |

I give keyless go 2 thumbs up, but to each his/her own. I wonder if others can sit to eat lunch with car keys or wallet in their pocket. |

Oh gee, all of the fobs I have had for the last 10 years are keyless go regardless of what the look like. But yes, I do have to have then on my person. What a hassle. |

I wouldn't buy a car that requires a key in the ignition. So 1990's...
