How about having a button on the keyfob, that unlocks and locks the car? Then you don't need to worry about the relay-attack, don't need to worry that you car

  At some point you have to ask yourself, why not just use a real key? The "inconvenience" of having to insert the key can't seriously outweigh the issue of forgetting your key in your car (because it was in the wrong bag), driving away from the key. Or the security issues. Or the added cost. I just don't see the appeal even if it worked perfectly. I'd rather pay extra to have it removed.

    Normal keys are notoriously unsafe and get worse over the years by continuous use (grinding of the locking pins). You can also cover the locking mechanism completely inside the door so no fishing for the lock handle can be done via the window or cracks in the handle. The 'easy unlocking' feature is idiotically simple to fool as shown. Almost the same as in the late '90s when you could just cycle through the ~2-10k combinations on the fobs. My advise would be: use the buttons on the key and disable the easy-unlock feature which can usually be done either in the car's settings or at the garage.

    ' ...why not just use a real key? ' Because they break into the house to get the key. It's happened to a few people I know - one time they used a wire hook through a partly opened window.
