Wow I'm not even talking about the flip key but the smaller internal one on E46's...
That one. Must be a bigass battery.
Yeah, i was considering one of those keys or making a flip key.
See the size of the remote. The whole inside is taken up...i was expecting to find a little breathing room. If the battery was smaller I would attempt a transplant.
Anyone got tips on a smaller one thats transplantable?
The guy I talked to at that shop said that some companies make "micro" remotes or something. I'm sure that would be an easier task to take on, but if you acually go through with this make sure it's VERY clean and not ghetto.

just picked one up....how far away does it reach? Like a good distance or do you have to get real close?
Why would you need/want to unlock or lock your car from more than 10 feet away?
:situation:
Your at the mall, walking 50 feet away in the parking lot and you forgot to lock your car. No need to go back.
I think these things have a very good range, my friend got a similar unit by the same people but with a security system and he can do it from much further than that.

Yeah, I guess my logic applies more to unlocking the car. I actally use my system to lock my car up from inside my house when I don't want to go out.
Well, I got impatient waiting to hear about a GB. So I went ahead and bought one myself. It's paid for now and should be shipped on Monday according to their ebay posting. Apparently they are on vacation...
Anyway, I'll have it in within a few days of it's arrival. I plan on wiring the dome lights and parking lights to it as well. Should be REALLY simple, but I like to be sure that it's locked/unlocked with some kind of confirmation.
Guy emailed me back today about the group buy. Said I could have 10 of them for $238.50 shipped so that's 23.85 each shipped. Problem is that's all 10 shipped to me and then I'd have to charge shipping to get them to you guys.
Probably no benefit in that, would come out to about the same $30 you can get it straight from him. Oh well, I tried.
