Well, I do tire of the dagger like key poking a hole in my trouser pocket........................

It's irritating..............when most keys now fold in on themselves.

Don't get me wrong, I don't desire keyless, any more than I desire an electronic handbrake, or stop/start, which are all pointless complexity.............

But I'd like a smaller key.......

Get yourself a girly key pouch like me
No keys to poke oneself with and also stops any keys jangling from the ignition

Fancier chips also receive a new code each time they are used but I don't think this happens with the Ford system.
Thanks Dave, the wonders of modern electronics

It’s not that bulky

I just wear regular Levi’s and it fits a treat

Hanky and change in left pocket, keys in right pocket

Wallet with cards and notes on the back of my phone in upper breast inside jacket pocket

Specs in upper outer breast pocket - usually with a small lens cleaning hanky

Simples
