Eventually, the technology will get to the point where people can start their cars with their retinas or fingerprints - much like they do with cell phones. Keys will soon be an anachronism. But a few will still have them much like people still get those classic "retro" rotary phones.
That’s not a 500-D, they don’t have a * or a #/R option!
“Though if you really are a key-head, you can still extract a traditional metal key from your fob (people are always amazed when I show them this). “
The ‘metal key’ in my fob will only unlock the door.
The rotary dial no longer works on modern systems. Retro phones have push buttons on the dial.
Not so much a Key-Head, whatever that is. Just someone who is not all that impressed with a key less car. I don’t see it as that impressive of a technology or that much of a convenience. Particularly since there seems to be a problem with people pulling the cars into their attached garages, forgetting to shut them off & ending up dead.
