here in lies a problem, the vehicle I use for my diving has keyless entry and every vehicle I own from now on, I want keyless entry. Everyone I dive with knows the combo because they all put their keys in my vehicle.

I can't believe someone would be more concerned about their car than their own saftey!! The last thing we do before hitting the water is to make a emergency plan. This involves hiding the keys(usually in the gas tank door). If something happens, and you have the keys on you, then what??? At least if you hide them on the vehicle and something happens, someone might be able to help.Not to mention the likleyhood of losing them is just about nil. In response to leaving the car open, not a bad idea. If you have something to steal, you will probably wind up with a broken window, and your stuff ripped off,(double bummer!!) Don't leave anything visible, put it in the trunk,or don't bring it with you, also remove the face from stereo if you can. Please don't dive with your keys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lostinspace:<note to self> when next going shorediving check out other divers and where they hide their car keys! could make some serious money.
come on guys - are you serious?! you hide your keys in or on your car? you would NEVER get any refund on insurance if someone stole your car. you might as well just leave the car unlocked.

In some cases I DO leave it unlocked. A prime example is at Honolua Bay on Maui, a place notorious for thieves breaking into tourist's cars. My car key, credit card, and a couple $20 bills go into my swimsuit. The car windows are rolled down partway and doors unlocked. That way I don't end up with a broken window from some lowlife trying to steal stuff.lostinspace:you hide your keys in or on your car? you would NEVER get any refund on insurance if someone stole your car. you might as well just leave the car unlocked.
NetDoc:You know SeaJay,
I almost bought a Ford for the exact same reason! That is a great feature and I wish more manufacturers offered it. However, I decided to not go in debt and bought a used Isuzu instead.
