If that does not work, try wrapping aluminum foil around the

That's not the problem. If a transponder is in the car then it
can't be locked from outside. The is nowhere to inert a metal
key as there are no metal keys.

Did you actually try wrapping the spare transponder in aluminum
foil?

Saran-Wrap is cheaper.
But saran wrap has no chance of sheilding the RF ---


A flexible sheet of lead would probably work best.

In our new car there is an excellennt external hiding place. Of course
I can't eveal it. :-)


A friend years ago installed a "dummy' dual exhaust. The tip screwed
off. Fake Lakes would do the job too - unbolt the cover (cut-out) to
get to the key. I guess you could do it with real lakes too.
