Great! The dealership charges inordinately for a new key so I would love to be able to do it myself.

I am married to someone who has lost her keys several times so far. Upgrading from a car with a $50 fob to one with a $200 fob was not fun.

If she loses her keys just once it pays for itself many times over.

Yeah, that would have been a good call. Though as noted below, we don’t always know generally where they were lost. I’ll take a look at the peer-to-per discovery.

I assume this person must be losing their keys in public or somewhere unknown. Otherwise their house must have quite the bonanza of keys waiting for them.

Those types of systems like tile work in public as well, they use a network of other users that will inevitably walk by the lost item.

I see, that's interesting and good to know. I thought it was something that only worked in local range.

I never lose or misplace my keys anymore now that I have keyless entry/keyless start, they go days without leaving my purse. It's really a massive improvement in my life, one I didn't know I needed until I had.

Key insurance is a thing if this is a legitimate issue for you.

I didn’t know about this. Any idea how typical premiums run? I may have to start the quote process to find that out.
