Nice. Have you noticed if it helps prevent the inadvertent presses of the hood and trunk buttons on the key?

I'm at the point where I accidentally pop the hood or trunk at least once a day.

I took the car and the key for a test drive. With the key in the ignition, the sheath did not hit my leg, a problem with the colorful Cayman Key fob from Porsche. Then I put the sheathed key in my pocket of my Levis and walked around. No inadvertent locking or unlocking of the Cayman either. So far, so good.

I like it and would like it even more if it had the Porsche emblem on it. I am surprised that Porsche doesn't make one.

The '07 BMW solution with the fob you have to insert in a slot and then push a start button is two steps back to me however. One reason we passed on a BMW wagon in favor on an '07 Audi.

Somehow I have adjusted to the Porsche key and no longer have the unwanted commands. But it seems that all makes have decided that the key is a part of the marketing "halo" rather than a logical functional device and have saddled us with these unwanted bricks. I'm sure you have seen GM's proposed new key that is a mini-computer that checks tire pressure and who knows what else.

Santa Fe, Where have I been? Tell us more about the Quattro Wagon. Sounds beautiful and it's part of the Porsche family now, almost.

Yep, we added a Quartz Grey Avant to the fleet. I'm really in love with it and am looking forward to the diesel version in a few years so I can pretend to be a LeMans winner...

mpollard, I have that exact same sheath for my M3 key. I'll try the switch and see how it does.
