Electronic Key??

Hello,

What do I do with the credit card like electronic key that's glued to the storage tray in the center console? Do I just leave it in the car or remove it? If I do remove it, is it just a "tear-off" operation or what?

According to the manual, I can apparently program the card to function as a key. How many have chosen that option?

Thanks

It is very handy. Some people use it all the time. My salesperson had it set up for delivery. You might want to check with your genius if you can't set it up.

Why is it glued to the tray. Lol. They just handed mine to me after they connected it. You shouldn't have to do that. They should have done it for you

True. It shouldn't be glued there. Mine was in a pocket in the pouch holding the owners manual.

And to activate it, there's a video on youtube by JayPichardo I believe. And a couple of others too. It's very easy.
