No doubt they would charge $100 or more for just clicking a button and having the equivalent of an NFC writer.

- colechristensen 1y agoWhen my favorite quadruped knocked my keys into the trash I had to get my car towed to the dealer for them to program me a new key. One one hand, top notch security as it was impossible to do any other way. On the other hand the total to get this done was something like $500 after everything.
- dylan604 1y agoI did this to myself by placing my keys in a pocket of a bag that I've never used before when returning to the airport parking. I found the keys in the bag after paying to have it re-keyed after paying for the tow from the airport to the closest dealer.
- mh- 1y agoThis is totally something I'd do. I'm very organized when I travel for work and everything has a place. If I absentmindedly slip something into the wrong part of my bag, it might as well be invisible..
- dylan604 1y agoI'm a great example of "for someone supposed to be smart, you do the dumbest things"
- mh- 1y agoHaha, I heard this a lot growing up. And now I have kids of my own..
- imp0cat 1y agoGet a bluetooth tracker (Apple Air Tag, Samsung Smart Tag or the generic Google Find My compatible one for other Android devices), set it up with your phone and attach it to your car keys. Then anytime you misplace your keys, you can look at a map on your phone and it will show you where to go.
- mh- 1y agoYeah, big +1 on this tip. I have AirTags on my bags themselves as well as some other things. Don't have them on my key fob, but you may have inspired me to attach one haha. The map thing when you're nearby and it goes into the sonar-like mode is super cool. Especially combined with the ping noise.

- mh- 1y agoOh this is brilliant. Why haven't I thought of this? I travel a lot for work and always take a pic of my parking space number. A few weeks back I forgot to, realized I forgot before I got in the security line and was like.. nah, I won't forget on a short trip. When I got back later that week I walked the entire floor of the garage, about 25 minutes.
- imp0cat 1y agoYea, hiding one in the car is a great idea, too.
- colechristensen 1y agoI have a photographic memory for items dropped in a terrible mess, years later "oh that thing is there under this and that" I also have a problem with thinking of wise places to leave something and then it is gone forever unless I dig through 75% of everything I own. After I find it I am reminded of what my thought process was.
- pkaye 1y agoI wonder who make more money on this. The car dealer or the manufacturer.
- hungmung 1y agoWell they don't call them stealerships for nothing.
