I really hate carting around bulky keyfobs.
I far prefer simply having a dumb but much slimmer key on my keyring, even if that means sacrificing some functionality. I'm going to be getting into the bloody thing after all so it's really no advantage to me to be able to unlock it from three steps away.
So...is it possible to do away with the electronics of the keyfob altogether, and simply lock / unlock / start the car with a simple metal key? If so, does the alarm still arm/disarm when you lock/unlock the car? Is there still a way of deadlocking the car? Or, is there a smart chip in the fob that talks to the onboard electronics that renders anything but a registered keyfob useless?
Thx,
Michael.
