Just how retro will the new Camaro be? Will it come with these?

Separate door and ignition keys.

I sort of like having the 2 keys rather than just one -- maybe partly because every car I have had for the last 25 years was so equipped.

one key is way better.

Or how about like the C6...NO KEYS

I like only having one key and a key fob on my keychain, in fact I'd be more than happy if they could just make it the key fob...less I'd have to carry in my pocket

My Camaro has two seperate keys. :shrug:

Do you break into your house every day?

Garage door opener FTW!

I thought you wanted to know if it would have Pass-Key II at first...God I hope not! :mad: :p

Do you break into your house every day?

No, :confused:, I meant for that one car...

my keychain includes

3 car keys for 3 seperate cars
1 key fob for my Colorado
2 house keys, one for my house, one for my friend's house I'm crashing at over the summer
and a work key....

...and a craftsman 4 size flattip screwdriver

Garage door opener FTW!

Hope the power's not out! :p

I've got a serious keychain:
2 keys for my house (doors and garage doors)
Key to my brother's house
2 keys for the Bronco
2 keys for my parents' house
And one random one that I don't know WTF is
Plus a cigar punch for good measure.

Gotcha. I keep a separate ring for the bike, with just the bike key and the key to my chain lock. I just don't like having 47 keys flapping around on my triple clamp.

Hope the power's not out! :p

You've got a new fifth-gen Camaro?

Nope. A 1993 Z28, with two keys. My GTO, however, has only one key.

i don't know if i've ever had a car that took two keys.

i don't have too much on my keychain

durango key
durango key fob
2 keys to my place (one for the back door/garage and one for the front door)
1 key to my parent's place
1 key to my friend's house
1 key for work
1 key for my trailer hitch lock
bottle opener

I'd like a solo key. Unless it's going to be some huge key with all the lock and unlock features on the key. My wife's Solara was like that. Key was HUGE!

I take it you've never seen a GTO key?

Nope. Do they require their own zip code also?

It's going to be very retro

http://blog.vehiclevoice.com/8Track.jpg

definitely 1 key.. even though my Camaro came with 2.. i don't have both on the keychain.. jsut the ignition key and the key fob.. i keep the door/glovebox/t-top key in my wallet just in case i lock my keys in the car.. also a spare set of both key in my apartment

as for mey keychain.. you asked for it..

i have a.. what i like to call.. modular keychain.. it's got 3 different rings.. (ooh i found a picture of it: )
http://www.hardwarestore.com/media/product/682229_front200.jpg

so.. on the 3 parts i have car key, home keys, and work keys... it's nice cause at work i can seperate the work keys and just carry them in my pocket with the rest of the key stowed away for the day.. if i go out i leave the work keys at home and just take car/home keys.. or if i don't need the car keys i'll just take the home keys..

anyway..
Blue:
Camaro Key Fob
Camaro Ignition Key

Middle:
Home door knob
Home deadbolt
Mailbox key

Red:
Keybox key
inside door key
outside door key
vault box key
thermostat key
cash box key
and drawer key

It's going to be very retro

:metal:

I'll take 2 keys.

I'm betting on keyless entry/ignition.

Pretty much. I'll get you a pic. :)

Yeah, but you don't have a turtle.

Holy crap that thing is gigantic! Next to a Camaro key, that thing is a monstrosity.

I hate the GTO key :( :mad:

1 key. I haven't even used a key to unlock my car(s) in many many years.

Dope

Holy crap that thing is gigantic! Next to a Camaro key, that thing is a monstrosity.

Yep. In case you didn't notice there is a Camaro key on there. Two of them actually. :)

I hate the GTO key :( :mad:

Only because yours is a 2004 edition key. :)

Don't tell me the 2004 keys are bigger than that. :eek:

screw that plastic sh*t gimme these

lol... that's not nice... don't get your panties in a bunch rob, they're the same 04-06.

You gotta have the chip though.



Ponch, or John?

I see how you swing.

You've probably already seen the key for the new Camaro...they're just going to pull it from some other car that's in production.

I'm a big fan of the VW/Audi switchblade key thing, also the one for smaller Volvo's that's basically just a fob that sticks into the dash.

Hank Hill, OutsiderIROC-Z, robvas

The running list of dorks who want 2 keys...why this is the dumbest idea ever. If i didnt have keyless entry on my SS, i would have changed the locks so they matched.

Plus a cigar punch for good measure.

Here Here! Always keep one on me too.

make it like the c6s ;) and id be happy

I'd like a solo key. Unless it's going to be some huge key with all the lock and unlock features on the key. My wife's Solara was like that. Key was HUGE!

I'd much prefer have a seperate fob from the key. I hate my Aveo's key with the buttons on it. Keys are getting too large.

That said, I'd prefer 1 key. I can't even remember the last time I used a key to open my car door. Uh... Not since early 2000 actually.

1 Key To Rule Them All

I'd like a single key with an integrated fob. :D

What I'd really like is a "valet key" that starts the engine with some different parameters. No more than 33% throttle, 3000 rpm rev limit... you get the idea.

Ace, would you be opposed to something a little more exotic and asymmetric such as these?

I know you weren't asking me, but I would be very much opposed to those. They look like they were designed to be difficult to get out of your pocket.

As someone else said, you weren't directing this to me but...

While they are visually interesting, they don't seem very practical at all.

I'd like 1 key and a seperate fob, but one that looks just like those on the '02's.

i think i like the fact of having 2 keys or atleast a key over having the key fob. my dads got a c6 and we all know it has the push button. thats cool and all but i like turning the key and cranking over the motor rather than pushing a button. doesnt seem too reliable to me.

Pushbuttons don't seem reliable to you? :confused:

i just need the one key and a fob, i got too many keys already...
camaro door
camaro ignition
s10
silverado
55 chevy
house key
shop key
another house key
work south warehouse
work west warehouse
work hotel storage
work hotel storage
work office
and last but not least the camaro fob

thats not even including the other keys i carry that are just work keys... so like i said before just the one please

Separate keys for me please.. I'm not driving a Ford.. If you have to get a new ignition lock, then you'll have two keys eventually. Unless they can key it the same. :think:

But yes.. I have a lot of keys too..
2 car keys
-Work Keys....V
Cat(erpillar) key (universal)
Bobcat key (universal)
John Deere Key(universal)
Shop universal key
Tool box at work
Mail box
Quad lock
and some house key I can't figure out what it goes to.

Have ye no faith in GM QC?
Definatly 1 key with keyless pushbutton start just like "the big brother".
Although having a keypad(ford) is so dam handy.

I admit that news has been very slow around here lately, but dammmmn! :lol:

not really.

It sounds to me like you and people you know have fallen victim to some poor design choices that had nothing to do with the reliability of the pushbutton itself.

i cant stand those key pads on fords. i never understood what the hell those were for. yeah if you lock your keys in i guess but from personal experience i have never locked keys in any of my cars.

I felt that way also until I tried it. Somtimes I'll just lock my keys in on purpose when hiking or mountain biking so as to not lose them or have them in the pocket.
I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to get somthing out of the car and forgotten my keys.
Also, I used to not lock the car until going to bed(it is in the driveway), but with the keypad I lock it all the time.
YMMV

Glad to see im not the only Janitor here! :p

Though nothing like a Bentley or a Mercedes-Benz fob, the latest Lexus fob is unique in its own right. "Even how the key feels in your hand was a consideration for our design," remarked Lexus' Mitchell. Made of silver-colored plastic, the current Lexus fob was sculpted with unique curves to rest naturally in your palm. Lock and unlock buttons are implanted into the plastic while the trunk-open and panic buttons sit on a convex surface. A new card key will debut on the Lexus LS 600h, coming in April 2007. As thin as one or two credit cards, it will feature an embossed "L" mark in chrome. The card key will act as an electronic identification for the vehicle, granting both keyless entry and engine startup.


I prefer Audi though.

Mazda has a similar 'smart key' with a back-up metal key that will get you into the car if the battery dies.

The Colorado has a key, but I only have to turn it just enough to reach the start position. The engine will crank on its own until it starts. Then if it doesn't start after about 3 seconds it will stop and try again 2 seconds later.

? My buddy's Monte Carlo (unsure of year) has remote start. Is it different than what you guys are talking about? Because he still has to put the key into the ignition to put it in Drive.

Yes, that is different. The "Smart key" you just have to have on your person when you get in. You then (depending on car) push the start button or twist a placibo key (removable cover that hides the hole where you put the backup key should you lose/brake the S-K). You then drive on your merry way with the key still hidden on your person.

A remote start just fools the car into starting w/o you in it. To drive it you still need to put your key into the ign cyl and turn to "on".
