[QUOTE="stringerman85, post: 880067, member: 14938"] I got to use one over the summer for about a week and while I like the fact of not having keys, it really doesn't seem worth it in my opinion. The bulk head door quit opening with the fob after a few stops each day I had it, apparently it kept getting wrote up, but again that pretty much defeats the purpose of having it. I drove another package car this past saturday and it had the key fob but the bulk head door would not open as well if the truck was leaning just a bit towards the passenger's side, so each stop I had to get up really fast in time to try opening it before it clicked off which it usually did. And as everybody else has said, the door is much harder to close now then before. I kept forgetting to click the button twice before opening the back door also, where as before you didn't need keys from inside the truck to pull up the door up. It makes me think of how much of a pain that would be the one day when the back door quits responding to the fob and you then have to constantly exit the truck to open the rear door with a key from the outside. The process of turning the ignition on doesn't really save me any time versus using a standard key (You still have to press the button on the dash twice) And if you're driving a manual and you accidently stall the truck out (you know once in a blue moon), before it was quick and unnoticeable turing the key off and on to start it back up but with this new system it's actually a little bit more of a process to turn off and turn back on, takes a few extra seconds [/QUOTE]
