One of my favorite features of my new car is the proximity key. It’s not reallya key in the physical sense,it’s more like a large fob. As long as it’s on your person, you can unlock or lock the doors with just a touch of the door handle, and start the car with push of the button. Comes in handy if you’re like me and you will carry all the grocery bags to or from the car in one trip (or die trying), it’s really helpful not have to go into your pockets to dig out the key whilst juggling 5 bags.
