I guess this is more of a rhetorical question than a true one...but here goes...
Has anyone heard or seen an alternative to the switchblade key fobs? I was thinking maybe in one of the European markets. The reason I ask is because I am constantly getting my key stuck in my pocket, wallet, whatever else I have because it springs open and snags while in my pocket. (Or it just tears a hole in my pocket...how...I dont know.) I didn't care as much with the Mk6 or my Passat as they actually needed the key, but with the Mk7, the only time I would ever need the actual key is if the fob battery dies and I have to peel the door handle apart...and being a lease I HIGHLY doubt that will happen before I turn it in.
Just wondering if anyone has heard of VW making the move to the proximity fob style that everyone else seems to use where the key locks into the fob more securely..
