Universal key FOB - does it exist?
This is getting stupid 
We have a Dodge, Ford, and Chevy in my house and a different Key FOB for each car. I have to keep my keys consolidated so that rules out having a different key ring for each vehicle... and my keys would weigh a ton if I had all 3 FOBs on there at one time.
Some genius was smart enough to create a universal TV remote that can act as the command center for the ENTIRE entertainment center... has anyone thought of doing this with key FOBS?

As interesting as it sounds, there is probably an issue with security. Since you can't open two differnt GM vehicles with the same keyfob, I doubt that it would be possible to go to other OEM's. If it were programmable, you may be able to gain access to multiple vehicles.
I have the same problem with my keys. They consist of the SUV, Van and Corvette keyfobs and keys. I got the "Costanza" (Seinfeld reference) keyset.
Good luck. If you find one, please let us all know.

UNIVERSAL FOB, there probably is, but I would bet you have to buy some kind of package (remote entry or start)
