This topic is irritating to me because I have stressed the importance of this change several times, and with no response in the product offerings. I know that many viewing this site, and many of the higherarchy are a bunch of stuffy shirt tuckers that don't follow the urban trends. This is why much of the time there is not innovation until after you see another manufacturer has success with a product or option. I also know you do not listen to Hip-Hop music because it is not part of your culture. The current trend is that popular urban music artists continually brag in many of their tracks that; "Every car I own starts with the push of a button." Rick Ross, Gorilla Zoe, Wiz Kalifa and many others are implying that, that is a sign of status. Traditionally it is only high end vehicles offering this feature as an option. If Ford's entire line-up were to have the same ignition system it would cut costs by buying in volume, and make Ford vehicles stand out amongst the rest being that every Ford has it. The way it should operate is that the key be the size of a credit card that fits in your wallet. If this key is within a certain distance from the vehicle (say 15') then the vehicle senses it and the doors will unlock, and the push button start should be enabled. For instance, if the doors are unlocked, and the vehicle running and the person with the key in their pocket gets out and walks 15' away, then the vehicle automatically shuts down the engine, and the doors lock initiating the simulated security system beeping the horn. I know Ford already possesses this tech because every turnstyle at every plant entrance works in the same manner allowing the assembly workers through the gates to go to work. I didn't even have to take my ID badge out of my wallet to scan in to OHAP.
