I do this, not for the 'vette but my dog has locked me out of the truck many times. Key in wallet is the most efficient.

C5's are rediculously easy to get into with a cloths hanger wire. Why keep an extra key? If you do keep a key in your wallet, why would you remove the resistor? If I lose the key I was using, I might actually want a key that works to get me home. If my wallet is lost or stolen the lost key is the least of worries.

At this time I have seven cars and six of them have a spare key somewhere under the car, most of them have a door key because the chances are that I would leave the keys inside and I just need to open the door. I tried carrying spares on my wallet but they made a huge bulge and uncomfortable to drive. My C5 has one close to the rear bumper cover(I don't worry, the car is in the garage all the time)

ditch the magnetic box, use wide masking tape instead.

You can get a blank key with a resister ,they are cheap, have it cut and place it anywhere you choose.

i think the bottom of the rear bumper someplace you can put something on the inside easy to get at, the side vents dont work for guys with mesh screens
