I have to disagree with this... I love not having to take my key out of my pocket.. and that you can start the car, lock it, and walk back in the house while its warming up..

While my Z lives in the garage, this is the reason I like have the same feature in my Altima, which lives outdoors. No need for an extra house key during cold weather. (Well, the couple weeks per year is is close to cold for SC.)

Stant was one of my clients. They're pretty much moved their operations from the US so I don't do much with them anymore. But here's the embroidery we did for this product when it was first launched.
