I just upgraded from the standard Peugeot RCZ key to a Smart LCD Touchscreen Display key and I made the little video below to show how it works - what do you think?

All functions of the original key (Lock, Unlock, Open Boot) are still available, accessed directly from the touchscreen display. Secondary physical buttons are also present at the top of the key as an alternative if desired.

Also features handsfree 'Comfort Entry' function via Bluetooth connection to the cars OBD port. The car is automatically unlocked when in close proximity to the Display Key and automatically locked again when moved away from the vehicle.

The only downside is no option for Remote Start as the RCZ does not have that ability. Yet... ;)

Thanks! It wasn't too difficult to do actually. You can get the LCD key fobs from eBay/Amazon/Ali-Express/Etc. but you also need an original spare car key so that you can use the internal circuit board from that. And you need somebody with Jedi level micro-soldering skills as the wires are very, very tiny (I found an electrician guy local to me who could do it for me) but, if you have all that, then there's no reason you can't have your own one of these.
