The key I used to start the 05 GT was stand alone and the engineer said the remote was separate. I didn't see the remote. The key is the standard looking Ford key, same one I saw on an 04 Explorer.
I prefer separate because replacement keys are cheaper and I'll be getting an aftermarket 2-way security system.

The key should be the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key, also known as SecuriLock. It's a security feature that disables the starter unless your specially programmed key is used to start the car. There is a computer chip inside the key and without that you won't be able to start it, even if you have a regular (non-PATS) key with the correct cuts.

I Think ford should have some sort of key with a mustang on it. Something custom. But I don't think that will happen. you'll be able to get something aftermarket if you want. If ford wanted to have some fun. they could have keyless entry like on the new lexus's. just put your finger on the handle and the comp reads your finger print. and if its a match. your car opens right up. Now thats cool. if ford did that I would be happy.

With the revolutionary SmartAccess option, you can lock and unlock your doors, open the trunk, and turn the ignition switch - all without having to take your keys out of your pocket or purse. As soon as the sensors detect the presence of your SmartAccess key, the door unlocks when you touch the handle.
Without having to use the key for any real purpose, you would think that you would forget to put it in your pocket.

I got this from the lexus.com:

I knew it was by touch because I've seen the commercials, but I didn't think it was from fingerprints.

The new Vettes have this, and so does the Cadi XLR. The Lexus is this system, not a fingerprint ID. The trunk and doors all have little rubber push-buttons that complete a circuit, much like the ones that open the glass on newer explorers, mountaineers and navs. Also, the car starts with a button.
