you would have to ask is it worth it for what you are getting. Apart from the hours what must it have cost?

I already think my car key is too bulky. Why does a Smart Key have to be so big. Youd think it could be a smaller easier to pocket fob or something.

Can you start it remote with the smart key? Or do you have to stick that clunky gizmo into the "Key" slot and crank it just like a key. But then you can take it out with the car still running.
