Careful on the McGards!!

The key is aluminum (I think) and will snap if torqued unevenly!! I just bought the BMW OEM's because I like the key pattern better. I think it would be tougher to strip in the long run.

i've had the same problem in front of certain doors or areas; i agree that it could be a problem.


two solutions to the problem would be:

1) a fused access point for +12v and (-) 12 v to power the car (kinda remote point for current in case the battery fails) but not to jump start

2) a hidden micro keypad underneath in case you lose the key or the transmitter fails...

Drex,

Since this subject has been coming up a lot lately, I believe I have come up with a solution. I will PM you with the details.
