Keyfob finally done right

Just read this on the acuranews website. Hope it isn't a repost.

Power Door Locks And Remote Keyless Entry

For owner convenience, the RDX has standard power door locks and remote keyless entry. A retractable ignition key is built into the transmitter fob, and can be folded for easier carrying.

wonder if it would work with the TSX?

Might consider modding my second key to it if it does work for the TSX.

I don't like this, unless they make it really small. I always hated the all-in-one keyfobs on the VWs.

true, i just had a vw rental and the key fob is large, but it's still nicer than having a seperate key and key fob, which overall is much bigger.

You can use a Honda key on the TSX. It has the keyless function built into it already!

A real key today has no key. Just got a miaicta with electronic key - like a credit card. It detects you coming, you press a button on the car handle and you're in . No key needed to start - just turn the 'keyholder' as though it had a key. Car locks as you walk away.

The system you describe is similar to the Acura RL and you are right in saying that it is the ultimate in convenience. I'm expecting the new MDX will also get the truly "keyless" system. I can see the RDX getting the same system in 3 or 4 years at a mid-model refresh - they need time to make MDX owners feel "special" for the large price premium they will be paying over the RDX.
