I am not a big fan of these electronic locks & keys where you leave the car and press a button on the dangling keypad to lock/unlock the car from a distance. I prefer the old-fashioned way of pressing a side button while you are still sitting in the driver's seat and the car locks as you get out and slam the door, like the Isuzu Trooper for instance.
My question is: is there a way to do this on the Honda Element 2003, and where/how can I get a plain old flat key to lock/unlock the car? My hardware keymaker says they cannot make a Honda key duplicate for one reason or other.
My reasons for preferring the old-fashioned manual key are:
1. When I park at the train station, I like to put my car keys inside my back pocket while I'm still sitting in the car before I get out and make a sprint for the train. These electtronic keys keep one of my hands tied up while fumbling for the button while running, backpack in one hand and lunchbox in the other hand. I just don't have a 3rd hand to hold the keys while sprinting towards the train.
2. These electronic keys are thick, bulky and put pressure on my butt when I'm sitting down, and I'm on my seat the whole day at the office.
So please, show me a way to lock the car while I'm still in it, and let me use a flat, small key instead of this horrible big fat Honda car key and this big fat dongle with the big fat buttons.
