"Chip off the old block" I'm curious, how do you test whether it works or not, If the smart key is in a rigid case?
Just like the OP said - walk up to the car, try the handle. If it doesn't open, it works. Personally I never saw anything wrong with the previous system of keys that you could choose (and guarantee that they were securely locked or unlocked) either the blipper or the old fashioned in-lock way of locking/unlocking the car door.
With keyless entry, the ONLY way you can check it is locked is to either give the key to someone else far enough away from the car and try the lock (or leave it securely away) or put it in a Faraday bag. A great example of a technology that doesn't save any time, is that much more convenient and especially is far less secure than the previous system - what a waste of money.
