New higher-end cars generally don’t need a key at all. An electronic fob in your pocket allows you to use a push button without a key being inserted at all. Some cars don’t even have a place to insert a key.

Thanks. Do you have any idea about what that sentence meant about the key? Just curious. (I HATE it when technical writers aren't specific.)

It’s just a button on the dashboard which you push to start the car. You have to have the electronic key fob nearby (purse or pocket)

If you mean post 98, I did not see what 2009 vehicles were used for the hacks, and at least one of them did use a traditional key starter.

Mercedes “Keyless-Go” is an option on the C250.
