Who removed the dummy key and uses the FOB on a regular basis? Seems like I am fishing around in my pocket to find the keys.

My CPO came w/o the dummy key, and I use the FOB all the time. I have the Premium Plus, which included entry and drive, etc, but the dummy key wasn't there when I bought the car. I've never missed it. I actually like putting the key in the slot and turning it. Seems cooler for some reason. I could order the dummy key, but just don't feel the need. Plus, when I rent a car using keyless drive, it always bothers me. Maybe I'm goofy.

I hate fishing, that is why I use the dummy key.

If you have entry and drive (which gives you the dummy key), why are you fishing around for keys? That’s the whole point of the system. I feel like I’m missing something here.

Mine came with a spare, in the bag with the front plate holder.

When I bought 2014 C4S which was CPO, it was missing the Dummy Key, although the car had the Entry and Drive. The dealership said they would get me a replacement but never did. I ended up buying a color matched dummy key from Suncoast. Although, most people can't see it, I love it. (kinda like my Aluminum look gas cap)

Love the entry & drive feature. I've usually juggling a bunch of stuff, so it's great to not have to fish around for a key in my bag.
