You can usually get a "non electronic" key cut, i.e. just the metal section, which will lock the doors. (may not set the alarm, depends on car, but at least its locked). Then put it around your neck or in your harness etc.

There not cheap though. Cost me nearly $70 for a laser cut commodore key.

mine cost me $7 ...suckazzzzz but it's a kangaroo

The worst thing is... Going for a ttly awesome kite, coming in, packing up totally... closing the car, and realizing you just shut the keys in there *doh*

nothing like waiting for RACQ to come haha *embarassing* but a good laugh around for a bit

But trust me, will NEVER be done again. lool.

Go for the cut key.

I open my boot and then arm my locks with the electronic button - throw the keys in the boot and the cut key hangs around my neck - slam the boot shut and whammo a secure car.

First thing you do when you return to the car is open the boot, grab the electronic keys and disarm the doors, open the front drivers door and put the keys in the ignition - some cars will relock if you don't open the doors or put the keys in the ignition. Keep the cut key around your neck until your about to drive away.

Just remember with the simple cut keys(cheaper) they usually won't start your engine but are good enough to open your doors/boot.

Just go to a good lock smith to cut your key or a minute man not your car dealer...ouch$$$$$
