I've got a new 2005 Honda Accord and would like to know the best way to prevent getting locked out. The car has keys with the immobilizer system feature.
Scenario #1 would be, you're 2000 miles from home, the key is on the floor of the vehicle (or in the trunk) and you are locked out.
Scenario #2 would be, somebody stole your bag at the beach and your key was in it.
Back in the old days, I would just carry a spare key in my wallet, but the programmed keys for the Accord are too fat for that. BUT -- could I get a spare key made that is flat and compact for my wallet that would get me back in the vehicle? Then if I had stashed a spare programmed key somewhere inside the car, I would be saved.
Any comments on what would work and on possible strategies without compromising security?
