Huh? You already carry a key on a chain with a fob. Where is this
"extra crap" of which you speak?

My first battery lasted almost 3 years and cost $3 to replace. BFD.

The primary reason people lock their keys in their cars is because the
key is constantly leaving their pocket or purse. With KSE (Keyless
Start and Entry) the key can stay in your pocket at all times. The car
can detect whether the key is inside the car or not; if you try to
start the car and the key is not inside, the car will not start. If
you leave the car and they key is still inside, the car will not lock,
and will warn you by blipping the horn that you left your keys inside.

My car can be programmed with up to 4 keys. Each key has all sorts of
personalized settings associated with it, such as seat, steering
wheel, and mirror positions, climate control settings, radio presets,
even the name displayed on the dashboard. One day when you get married
and you're constantly adjusting seats and mirrors after your wife has
driven your car, you'll appreciate things like these. :)

Another thing you might appreciate on occasion: my car has no lock
cylinders in the doors to get frozen up in the winter. :)
