Default Big *** Key Question

Has anyone figured out an alternative to the super-huge switchblade key that comes with the A4? It looks like I'm happy to see everyone when it's in my pocket...

I suppose I could use the extra key, but it doesn't have the remote doorlock opener/closer features...

Why the hell did they make it so fat? Is there really a bunch of stuff in the handle?

I never thought of it as big.. You do know you can snap the key back in?

Default Think about the alternative

Which would be a standard key + a remote keyfob.
Wife has the alternative setup and although I just carry the key, it is a major pain not being able to lock/unlock remotely (especially with kids).

I see your point though as I usually keep my keys in my desk drawer.

One day it will be smaller, then your pants will look normal :-)

Default Oh my god, I think I'd rather look like I have a hardon...

No offense, but I can't do that with my cell phone, let alone my keys...

Default I love the text, "...puts the key in your hand almost effortlessly!"

Damn... here I was getting a sore shoulder from overstressing my right arm each and every time I had to pull the keys out of my pocket. If only I had known about this miracle products sooner! The months of chiropractor bills it would have saved me!

I'm going to order one for every pair of pants.
