petmor Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I can't see why you guys would want such a crappy key. It's very small, not colourcoded or backlit. As they said on a test here, it's a sloppy key for a car that wants to be a premium key and compared it with the BMW, Audi , Mercedes and Volvo keys. The button for the boot unlocks it but you can't lock it again so you have to use the lock button again, no use for it at all. This is how it it looks [URL]http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=868[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I have done something differently? Besides. It's his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if the power of the transmitter is different because it is smaller (it appears to be smaller anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe that asking for information constitutes whining or hounding. I do have a need to carry less bulk, so I think that the question is pertinent. Based on your argument, you are suggesting that: 1) You believe that because you are happy with the key, that EVERYONE should be happy with the key. 2) You believe that if SOA does not offer the key, then the customers must not want it. Your argument is cemented in satisfaction of the status quo, which is quite offensive considering my experience on this boards suggests the otherwise. So I guess I will go my own way and you yours. btw, do you have a toddler? I can assure you that my questions are nothing close to how a toddler whines.... Cheers.

I wish SOA offered a smaller key. I am the furthest thing from the status quo that you can get. I just understand that the CSR monkeys that they have answering emails have never and will never tell you or any other person anything about future products that has not already been released via a press release. If you really want to use the key that bad, buy it, take it to a [B]machine shop[/B], have them cut it out to match, take it to your dealer and see if they can get the RFID chip inside of the key (if it even has one) to mate up with your ECU and use it. Just don't expect SOA to tell you if it will work or not. And yes, I do have a toddler :lol: BTW, how old are you and what industry do you work in?
