I have two rediculously sized keys to deal with. I've just gotten used to it. Whenever I go to work, I put my keys in my desk. If I don't feel like lugging around this mess, I just lock my keys in my car and use the plastic key (which is inside my wallet)

I was told by my dealer that the plastic key has a short life span.
Also, the batteries for the key recharge when the key is in the ignition.

Maybe. Who knows?

>>Also, the batteries for the key recharge when the key is in the ignition.

I doubt that since it is not rechargable. (Panasonic CR2032)

Dealers seem to spout off about everything in the world, and it seems like
they know nothing about what they are talking about.

I mean, just LOOK at the batteriy, and you can see immediately
that it is not rechargable.

And then a dealer tells someone that it rechargee when the key is in
the ignition! Inexcusable ignorance. (Hey, that can't be spelled right can it?)

Spelled right, but wrong word. Invincible ignorance is what you were looking for.

 

It took me awhile, but I pared my "in-pocket" keys down to just three. The other keys and stuff I found ways to store in places where I can get to them immediately if needed, but I don't have to carry them around.

 

If you actually do this mod, or if you're having trouble using the remote at a distance, try putting the remote under your chin and click the buttons. Your body becomes the antenna. It really works. I had a VW Jetta with "bad" keys. I could stand 10 feet away and click the key normally and it still wouldn't work. Stick the dumb thing under my chin and press the button & I could unlock the car from 100 feet away. No BS.

Okay...I'm tryin' this!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Okay...
This thread gets my vote for "Wackiest Post of The Month" award. I'm not dis'n anyone, but when you step back and take a look at what is going on...it's pretty darn funny! "under your chin"?

 

>>Okay...I'm tryin' this!

Be careful. I don't want to encourage any rash hacksawing.

It worked for me, but if you hack the thing apart, and then are
unsatisfied with it's performance, it'll be over a hundred bux
to get a new one.

Maybe your being so defensive becouse of your dumb key mod. What are you
going to hack off next?

If you are OK with your dealer lying to you it's your business.

I like the truth, so I corrected your post.

>Maybe your being so defensive becouse of your dumb key mod.

I'm not sure that was a defensive post. I have a different definition of defensive.

If a dealer posted saying that the battery WAS rechargable, THAT would be defensive.

If I posted that it was the greatest mod in the worls, and everyone else was
an idiot for not seeing it, THAT would be defensive. (NB: It IS the stupidest mod ever, well, except
for adding red paint to your calipers that is.)

>What are you going to hack off next?

Hmmmmm, I'll think about that one and get back to you.

 

>>(NB: It IS the stupidest mod ever, well, except

i've got an aftermarket alarm transmitter that handles the lock/unlock function so the bulky keyhead just takes up space.

I was told this by a VW service tech... I did leave out the really dumb looking part tho.... He said if you really want range.. Put it under your chin, and raise your other arm in the air... I watched him do it... Mind you, I haven't done that bit...
