Key Fob question
My daughter brought this to me attention and I didn't think much of it at the time but now I understand what she was talking about. Quote: "Daddy, did you know that the silver round trim thingee around the key is on your other key that Aaron uses (my son) and not on your key". Sure enough, the silver trim is gone around the key I use but on the other spare key. Did one key come with trim and the second didn't? Could someone look at both keys and see if their the same. It works fine. Seems weird. Thanks

Mine has it on both, too.
What I find interesting is that they are able to distinguish favorite settings for each owner. For example, mine "knows" that I like to listen to books on CDs, and will start with them on. My husband doesn't, and the car starts with his favorite radio station.
Love them computer chips!

I bought my mini used and only have one key, years ago I would just change out the cylenders on the doors and ignition, but nowadays with the keys costing $100. I just hope I mod the car enough that the original owner dosent recognize it.
then again, the new keys are so big, people dont carry them around if they dont own the car anymore.
but I do have a little chrome thingy around my key whatcacallit

That's the reason a lot of new owners are unhappy with self-programming. They do the work, but the features seem to only intermittently work as programmed. They don't know that EACH key has to be programmed with the feature (turn signal flashes, lights, locking, etc.) for it to work all the time.
