    Where to put my spare key, now that the spare is electronic?

    If the car "knows" the key is there or around, how could you possibly lock yourelf out. On the RX8s I know its an electronic key that it knows your close and you can press the button on the door handle and it opens. Unless you dont have a button on your door handle or one to open your trunk...
