After talking with a friend, I'm more confused than ever about how the 2016 CX-9 keys work.
Here's what I would like to do:
1) Have a permanent hide-a-key that only operates the doors.
2) Hide a fully functional key inside the vehicle.
3) Have key that I can lock up with and then take surfing or swimming. (Jaguar makes a waterproof Activity Key that can be worn as a bracelet.)
The most confusing variable involves "shielding" a key's radio transmission from the car. If tried a couple different places and sometimes the key is ignored and other times it's recognized. Also, if I pull out the mechanical key, is the key fob disabled? Is the mechanical key waterproof (I'm guessing it's not.)
Has anyone figured this out? It's tough getting used to having passive keys. Yesterday my wife and I were shuttling the dogs around and I almost drove away as she walked into the house with my key. Luckily, a warning sounded, and equally luckily, I didn't ignore it.
