Why would anyone want more bulk in their pockets? I try to carry as little as possible, I wouldn't pay 30 bucks to double the size of my key fob. but to each his own.
Double? There aren't any dimensions posted but looking at the keyblade it doesn't seem any bigger than an S key & fob and it combines both into one if I'm reading correctly.

Lets see how this works
We Buy a rather cool well designed roadster with heaps of F1 technology.

And then for some strange reason we take a perfectly good key and stick it in a plastic cheap looking box. There must be a honda acura flip key that will work on a s2000?
Feel free to check out the existing threads on the topic.

Last I checked the head of my key and the fob were also cheap plastic. The fake brushed aluminum is about half rubbed off on my master key. It's not like they bothered to use real aluminum in the first place...

Keyless Ignition.. Im sure we could integrate our own start button to work with this system.

A pic was just posted earlier showing that it's about the size of two regular fobs stacked together, I don't know about you all, but one unsightly bulge in my pants is enough.

It also seems like a waste of money, I mean... it's a KEY, who cares about a key?? You have a cool, head-turning roadster and you think anyone is going to be paying attention to your KEY??? I would just use the money for some wax or wheel polish or something else more useful if needed, if not save it, but that's just me.

I believe the issue with this approach was the steering lock couldn't be disabled without the key in the ignition.

The $79 one comes with the transmitter and the keyless remote built in. All you have to do is get the key cut and the transmitter programed at you dealer. The remote you can program yourself.

The $29 one you have to disect your existing key to get the transponder, and disect your remote to get to its internals. Then you put both in the new key fob. No programing required because you are using your OEM parts specific for your car. After transplanting the above mentioned all you have to do is get your key cut.

I bought the $29 one. I am going to try to use my dremel to grind my stock key so that it would fit in the new key fob instead of getting the new one cut at the dealer. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I am sorry to say the build quality is so BAD
It is surrounded with plastic which is easily scratch and ding.

The extraction is not smooth and the worst is after a few hour of playing with it, the retraction fiber snap off. I tried to put it back, but now the snapper did not want to come back full

I tried to contact the seller..., hell as usual ... got no reply...

By the way, it took 3 weeks to arrive and a few hours to break it....

I Agree the build quality isn't the greatest. But all in all I kinda like it. Took 20 minutes from stripping an old key of the transponder and gutting my remote. (you can put it back together no problem BTW)

WOrked no problems the first time. I took the key head to a Canadian Tire to get cut and the guy didn't charge me anything. Which it felt a little sturdier but whatever... just a key, not like I'm abusing it or even cranking it to start the car...
