C5 Key Mod
It's actually a generic GM fob and a prototype but I think I can make it work. What do you guys think?

I don't plan on selling them but I'll do a tech write up with the finished product if someone else is interested.

It reminds me of my friends MB key fob. It would be nice if the key was able to hide in the fob till needed.

Then where do you hook this on a key ring? No good, IMO.

That would be a drawback IMO. But, good idea to build upon.

Looks like a new GTO key. A buddy brought his GTO over and the key looked exactly like the one in the pic.

Exposed? Are you sure about that?
It's a good idea. I think you could drill a small hole in the corner or on the other side of the fob and put a key ring through it.
Dope
