Yeah... :D

Yep, and that's why they make little magnetic boxes for hiding keys under the back bumper! :)

Some more pics of this. It works great. Flip switch one way, never hear "Key is in ..."; flip it the other way, stock.

My voice warning system doesn't work at all, and I'd actually like it to! The rocker switch does not turn it on. Perhaps a previous owner who found it annoying did something to disable it! If so, what might they have done that I could undo? Or, if it's just broken, what can I do to fix it?
