Vehicle Keys - Key Fobs - Locked Out
I bought a Chrysler Aspen about 2 weeks ago and only got one key and fob in the sale. Yep, you guessed it, yesterday I was changing the transfer case fluid and had my keys lying on the seat. I guess...

My Ram has FOB key and if the key is left inside the truck I can not lock the door.
Once I dropped the key between the seat and arm rest one time and didn't realize it, got out the truck and tried to lock the door using the button on door handle and it just kept unlocking itself, took a few seconds for me to realize the key was inside the truck.
Same thing with my towed. Actually only the GV the Sidekick didn't have locks when I bought it.
Generally anytime I get something with a lock, if it has two original keys, one goes in the box of keys, padlocks and re-keying sets in the garage, the other on a keyring in the pantry with the other originals, copies go in each car and one to carry if necessary. At $0.50 or $0.75 each it's good insurance. For the two vehicles with the ignition key programmed to the car, I have several non-programmable keys for each.
I love the convenience of the security system by Karr that is in the Grand Vitara, key stays in pocket, you can lock and unlock the doors with a touch and start the car without inserting the key. I think that all cars should work this way. Only disadvantage is the $125.00 to replace the fob and key.
