Everyone who has more than one car with remote entry has this problem: which key fob to carry around? Why not key fobs that can be trained or set to open multiple cars. I think it would be a great aftermarket item. It could also have longer range than the one that came with the car.

Good idea. House, too, if you have a remote-entry lock on the house.

Not to mention garage doors....

We have one for our car that has two buttons, one for each garage door. A fob with half a dozen buttons would be great! Well... for those with small fingers....

Hi, I have just posted an idea of using your Mobile Phone or Cell phone as thay say in the states for pre heating the engine.Why not use that idea to open your car doorsPerhaps you can call it GSM-AUTO open This time next year rodney????

I have lots of cars, so I just use the keys. I seldom lock a car anyway. The lock takes a thief 15 seconds at most.
