Good point - and that makes it a lot less convenient. If the fob is in my pocket anyway i just have to pull the handle. I guess it would be useful in case of emergency/loosing a kay, and maybe if you are driving to some place for a run/exercise where you dont want to have to carry a key and have no bag/locker to leave it.
