Comfort access Key question

Hey All,
I had a question about the cool comfort access key system. If you (Driver) has one in your pocket and the passenger has the other key in their pocket, does it get confused? Also, If just the passenger has a key in their pocket, is it close enough to let you drive the car?

Thanks!
(This is the month I'm ordering )

Interesting question. I can't answer your first question because I simply have not tried it. However, the answer to your second question is yes.
I have had my wife hold on the key and me jump in the driver's seat w/o any range issues.

Maybe someone else can run out real quick to test your first theory

As long as the passenger's key fob is to your car, the car will start. It is a crap shoot on which fob it recognizes first. This is only really important if the two fobs have different preferences set to them, such as self locking doors, radio settings, etc. And the system doesn't recognize where the fob is located within the car, just so long as one is within range, it will start up at the press of a button.

I love my Comfort Access option.

When I test drove an MCS, the MA had the fob in his pocket. He was in the back seat. No problems.
