Right now i have 2 carS with passive key remotes. On 2 occasions I had them replaced the FOB because it ended up in place which no longer made it functionable. So now, when I get in my car, I try to remember to put the remote in the center console. These days, I dont have many keys. My house door and gargae door are keypad locks. My door to my office office building is a keypbad lock. The only actual key is to my 2001 corvette. So when I leave the house, I tend to have just one key or 1 key FOB. I guess that's why its so easy for me to just forget that its in my pocket. BTW, I have the same robe with cash. I am finding $5 and $10 bills in the wash machine all the time That why I mostly use plastic
