Default May sound trivial but...

What kind of key chain do you use for your car key?

I have a bunch of keys for office/home/family that I currently keep on a keychain that has a "quick-release" so when I have the car valet parked/let the wife drive it, I can quickly give them my car key without also giving up the rest of my keys. However, with the Audi key, the whole set of house/car keys dangles low when the ignition key is inserted and takes up LOTS of room in my pocket. Has anyone come up with a good solution to this problem? I want to keep the convenience I currently have while making the house/car keys more compact. Thanks in advance for the ideas, especially the sarcastic ones!

Default Re: I don't, I have key ring with all my keys (house, office, etc) and leave the Audi fob empty

so depending on the car I am driving (wife or mine), I just grab the car key and my key ring seperate. I do not like to combine the two, plus I found the weight could cause wear on the ignition switch.

Cheers,

Chuck

Default none, Audi fob goes alone, then I have a separate ring for house, mailbox, and beater car key.

and yet another one for work keys.

So how do you keep track of all of the keychains?

Default The only solution is to keep the Audi fob seperate.

It makes any key ring just too bulky otherwise.

Default I had a similar setup in college, but i was once locked out of the house in a power outage

the keypad was on the garage door, and the power was out; therefore, i couldn't get into my house. i now carry a front door house key in my wallet just in case this happens again.

i have no other keys attached to my key fob.

Default
