Does anyone else find their JL's metal key frequently flips out from its housing when in your pocket/purse/etc? At least every couple of days as I'm just walking I'll feel something annoyingly protruding in my pocket and realize my key has come out from the fob.
I had an Audi with a similar key design and it never had this issue. I guess it wasn't as easy to depress the button to release the key.
I've also had a couple other cars (Honda and a BMW) with proximity keys that had physical keys inside, but no 'eject' button... you had to actually slide an indented latch over to unlock the two components and slide one out from inside the other. It wasn't as easy, but since those cars had proximity entry/keyless go, I literally never once took the key out other than to see how it worked. That sort of design seems much better IMO for a vehicle that you'd typically never use the physical key for.
