[QUOTE="soberups, post: 850001, member: 14668"] Keyless entry is being installed on the cars in my center right now. I have seen the equipment, but I personally have not yet used a car with the system installed. A couple of observations; the drivers who have keyless entry are all of a sudden showing up on the Telematics report for multiple (like 40 or 50) violations of having the BH door open while the car is moving, when they previously had zero in a car with a standard lock. Not that showing up on the report actually matters, but it is obvious that there is a glitch to be worked out. There are also issues with the push-button starting on older cars with manual transmissions. Not all of the older cars came with neutral safety switches (starter wont engage unless clutch pedal depressed) and on the cars that [I]do[/I] have it many of the switches dont work. One complaint I am hearing from unassigned drivers is that they are having difficulty adapting to different routines when switching from a new car [I]with[/I] keyless entry to a new car [I]without[/I] it and then again to a stick shift car that does have it. The back doors are going to be an issue on some cars. The 1000's or 800's with rollup doors and the newer P-7's with sliding pocket doors are all pretty straightforward. I have yet to see the system installed on a P-7 with the swing-open "barn" doors, and it is not clear to me how they will make keyless entry work on those cars due to the design of the door. And I am assuming that the pup trailers will still have normal locks since they dont have a battery of their own to power the system. Our key fobs are all mounted on carabiner clips that you hang from your belt loop. I know that I will have to keep mine in my pocket; 24 years of moving my fat ass in and out of a package car has taught me that [I]anything[/I] that I clip to my belt is going to wind up snagging or catching on a protruding object and getting torn off at some point during my workday. I have a drawer full of old broken pagers, DIAD clips, cell-phone clips and Leatherman holsters that can all attest to this inevitable fact. Ideally, there would also be a way to mount the key fob on a brown terry-cloth wristband. [/QUOTE]
