On the new Renault (french rubbish!) Laguna, it uses a credit card and that is it. the card has a button to lock / unlock the doors then you insert it in the dash and press the starter.
Apparently, it is rife with problems.............French engineering, you can't beat it (because it might break!)

 

I hear you press this secret button on the card and a little white flag pops out and waves back and forth. Must come in handy over there.

 

LoL :worship:

 

They have 5 gears though, (1 forward, 4 reverse!!!!)

 

I kind of think the Ford remote is kind of bland on the styling... I like the GM better.

Ford:


GM:


Even the Mazda has a little more "style" to it:


Dunno what'd be better...after all, its 100% funcitonal. I dunno...something other than a box with buttons.

 

nah, I like that box with buttons. Don't see how bubbling it up would make it better. It really doesnt matter to me anyway if they chose a triangle.

 

speaking of keys: are there locks on both doors or just the driver side...can't tell from the pictures. jackg 90seville 94k

 

Even though I hate my wife's Mercedes I really like the key for it. Everything is contained on the key itself and there's a small valet key that can be removed from it (that's the silver loop on the left of the key) I couldn't find a front facing picture but the front has the typical controls, lock, unlock, alarm.

I don't like having a key plus a remote entry keypad. Too much stuff in my pocket.

 

My 95 Mustang remote looks the same as my Mach remote -- with the exception my 95 had the running horse on the bottom in the "blank area" ..

It's not a big deal to me, but the Ford remotes are kinda bland. The keys are a better size/looking now, so that's a plus.

 

By the way, the Mercedes key does look pretty cool!

 

My Grandmother has a benz with that key. Its so easy to put in the ignition and turn. Not that other cars are hard but if you have started a benz you can feel the difference.

 

yeah I agree.
