Great idea, as long as it's not two-way.

You don't want the car talking back to the license.

Just make sure you have a backup system in place.

See if you can get it surgically implanted. That would suck when the battery runs out though.

I also will admit that it's a little uncomfortable having the "keys/fob" in your pocket while driving....but there's SUMTHIN' about this car that makes me forget LITTLE things like that!

I like it a lot, combined with the push-button start and already getting annoyed with the keys to my other vehicles

I think they should give you a choice when you buy the car.

A nice Corvette watch
I like the idea of the Credit Card sized opener/starter

For the ladies a gold bracelet or some other jewlery. Earings maybe?

I mean I love the idea of the FOB but take it a step further.

OK, as long as the car isn't a substitute for SUMTHIN' in your pocket!

Credit card FOB

I really like the idea of the credit card size. Great idea from a security standpoint, no one would EVER find it in my wife's wallet -- too many other cards!!! Uh oh here she comes now.....

My Infiniti FX uses a similar system. You need to have the FOB in the car somewhere; however, they also give you a key that snaps into the FOB so you can put a real key in the ignition if you want to or you can use the FOB and use the key only at car washes, parking lots, etc. I did have one situation where I placed the FOB (with the key) on the center console. When I made a turn the FOB fell down between the console and the seats and I couldn't find it. Once I got the car home it took a couple of hours to get the FOB back. Fortunately I did not need to leave the car anywhere in the meantime as it cannot be locked with the FOB in the car! It took some getting used to but after a year and a half I never use the key anymore. I pick up my C6 next Wednesday. I am sure there will be some adjustments that I need to make based on what I have read in the Forum. Ain't technology wonderful?!

This would be the absolute best possible solution for everyone. You could even attach it to your license.

I'll buy one of those. Now who's making them?
