How Usefull would this be

I just had a great thought, while everyone is talking about upgrading to the 07 flip style key, wouldnt it be great if acura incorporated a usb thumb drive into the key fob? Im betting 99% of us on here use a usb thumb drive frequently and it would be pretty slick if you ask me if it was incorporated in design instead of having 2 large plastic items on your key ring. Just a wish on the christmas list!

while i dont think it is a bad idea there a ton of thumb drives out there a lot of which have atachments or are shaped so that they fit on a key ring plus i think that would be a pretty large thing to enclose the key,standard remote functions and at least 2gb to make it worth it

Take it a step further.

When the key it put in you have a folder called "music". Said files are then transfered into a factory hard drive in the stock headunit and then you now have another feature that sets the TL apart.

Just so long as it doesnt add bulk to the fob. Nothing worse than a huge wad of keys in your pocket.

that would be awesome, but you would def have to make sure to keep the size to a regular thumb drive. and teh head unit idea, amazing. you could even have certain locations programmed on it for the nav.

This is not a bad idea for a student or business man. However this is something that I will never use. It would be cool if they made a thumb fingerprint scanner into the fob so that only u can use it

I wish it was more like google maps where you can lay down you own POI and flags so to speak.

That would be awesome!

I already have a USB thumb drive attached to my keychain, so it wouldn't do anything for me.

I think they should just replace the tape player with a Usb/memory card port. That way you can play your mp3's directly.

The thumb drive should have bluetooth so the stereo can seamlessly access the drive. No need to plug anything in!

Well then take it a step further...

When you buy a TL you get your choice of bluetooth phone. said phone is linked to yer car and you can configure numerous settings to happen when you approach from trunk pop to auto start. Of couse the doors unlock also. When you get in your phone is your key. No keys needs. Just put the phone in the car and yer off.

Of course you have your valet key in case of whatever but gdamn do we need seamless inter device interactions.
