No key hole for the remote?
I heard from somewhere else that there is no key hole for the key fob, is that true? if theres no hole, how can you attach it with your other keys? does it mean that you have additional item to carry?

It has a hole, but if you were to valet it, you get the portion of the key that has the hole and the valet guy gets the portion w/o the hole. This means that instead of hanging your key in the valet tray, it'll be on the bottom just lying around somewhere.
It took the guys at dinner 20 minutes to find my keys. Turned out that it fell out the case and got kicked into the grass.

Maybe this was already discussed, but...
When I took delivery, the Acura "education" guy who showed me all the features on the car, told me that the remote costs around $400 to replace, but the key costs less than $100, so it's smarter to give them the key itself and not the remote fob. Yes, they could get into your glovebox and your trunk, but they wouldn't have the chance of loosing the remote fob.
Using the key itself, you can pop-off the ignition switch, exposing an actual keyhole. Just hide the switch somewhere so it doesn't get stepped on or fall out of the car...
