Poll: Keyless entry (credit card)
This is really more for the guys as we (?) put it in our wallet.
If you have done anything such as purchased a key, modified the unit.. post and let us know.

I don't even carry a wallet. Sits in my left front pocket with my money clip. On the right front pocket is my cell. Those are the only things I really need to carry around with me. And I love this thing...I hate carrying keys

I love it. No more key scratches (not even on the stainless door lock areas!). Amazing how the car reacts to where the key is located inside (like if its in the compartment) or outside. My favorite is the trunk sensor and the well-hidden switch.
Oh and how other RX-8 owners (non-GT or pre-'06) wish they had it

+1 I have a friend who has an '05 and he asked how my 8 was doing. I told him about the key and he didn't know about it. I showed it to him and he was like "wtf! How come I didn't get one of these" Then all our friends started ragging on him how he got jipped

A credit card entry is no good.
It's easy to tap into that security and over ride it.
The current keyless entery system is much better.
Besides how in the hell am I going to carry a credit card when I'm at the beach?

i pwn therefore i am
I love the keyless entry system, but I don't really like the form factor Mazda has chosen. I prefer the ones Mitsubishi uses which are much less wide and tall and maybe 3-4 times thicker. It's basically just like a key fob. I still have to carry keys to get into my house and the credit card style device doesn't fit well on a key chain.

Have you guys ever have trouble with the string coming off the credit card? In both of mine a little yank took both of them off and I can't get it back on. not a huge deal because I don't put it on a chain, but still kinda annoying.

Also when I press my buttons the doors don't unlock or lock and I have been having trouble when trying to turn the *** to start the car it wont turn sometime and i have to wait a while a move the sifter and then it turns.

I had a '07 Camry before this and they had the same system, so I was already used to it...but yes i guess i am spoiled by it xD

I really like that key but you have to be careful to put your wallet/key on the other pocket than your phone otherwise it will interfere. It is not an issue for me, but I know before I used to put the key in the wallet, it sometimes happened that it ended up next to the phone.
I still have to get the dealer to configure my key so that it locks the doors after three seconds of exiting/closing the doors. Any way to do that yourself?

that's a picture of the credit card key, basically you can just have it in your pocket and press the button on your door(s), and your car will automatically lock/unlock. It also automatically locks the door after you close the door and the key is out of the range of the sensor.

ummm 3-5m atleast?...mine stopped working a while ago.. so I'm bringing it in to the dealership to check on it, but aside from that proximity sensor and stuff, everything else functions like an actual remote. Oh, and you don't need to shove the key into the key-hole or w.e to start the car, just turn the *** =). don't know if they had that on older models
