That's actually a cool solution. You could just leave your key in the ignition switch, and only use the fob, as long as you assume a thief wouldn't be able to figure out how to bypass it.

There's no chance I would trust that particular switch, but it is a nifty idea.

True and yes that works sometimes.

Other times when I take my wife, walking out to the car I start hearing "does it have gas?, did you lock the door?, did you pay the water bill from February of 2014?, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?, etc."
Those are the times I just slam the seat back, yell "just get in the car woman", then look like a dingus when I have to get back out to turn the battery on...
