Keys and key fob...

Hmmmm. So it's "possible" to have two keys, one with remote, one without, in her purse with her. She'd unlock it with the current key, and then drive it with the other.

I assume then every week or two she'd need to drive it with the remote key so that the battery would recharge?

Sounds like a pain in the arse to me...

Yeah, that sounds like the most reasonable solution.

Totally possible, but somewhat illogical. The valet key is number 3, no remote, but works fine in doors and ignition. Doesn't work in glovebox. It would be easier for her to use in the ignition, given her smaller hands.

But unless she wants to give up remote lock/unlock, she would still be carrying key number 1. She wouldn't need to drive with key 1 every week, my keys were good for two years without use. I try to remember to use the spare once a year, but usually forget.
