I’ll stick to keys, thank you very much, especially when driving my Jeep way back in the boondocks, where cell service, let alone internet, connections are spotty at best.

No key. Pushbutton with fob hooked to my belt.

Good idea, but we learned an interesting lesson last week at work. One of our photogs got back to his vehicle and the remote wouldn’t unlock the doors. No big deal, uses the key to get in.

Then the car won’t start. Called AAA to jump it. Didn’t work, so they towed it to the dealer. Service rep calls me to ask if we have another key. Sent it over and it started right up! They opened the other remote and water poured out. Did I mention it was raining cats and dogs and nobody told me the keys had been dropped in a puddle?

I could understand the fob not opening the doors remotely under these conditions, but when I put the key in and turn it, I expect it work. So, don’t get pushed in the pool with your cell phone OR YOUR KEY FOB!
