Yes, keyless entry is a nice feature, but I kind of miss the size of regular plain ol' metal keys. The $400 fob for my Infiniti was made of about $12 in cheap plastic parts and it disintegrated in my pocket.
How about a smaller, metal fob that at least approaches being worth what the dealer charges for the thing?
Maybe something like this, but a key fob instead of a usb drive:

Well, yes. But that won't be offered much longer with new cars.

A fair few Toyotas still have a key with a small fob on the end. If that was slimmed down a little and made of nicer materials itd fit the bill.

A bunch of early-2000s Renaults (and maybe later ones, too), used this:
It's about the size of a credit card, but very thin. Kind of awkward to use in practice, but pretty futuristic, too.
