I know this would be of interest to more than just Mondeo owners, and perhaps someone has posted it elsewhere on the forum. An interesting read, nevertheless. |

I'd be a little concerned as to what freezing the circuitry in the keys on a daily basis could do.

Interesting article. I should point out that it's only relevant to cars that have the proximity key you keep in your pocket and they unlock themselves. (and push a start button on the dash).

I suppose that might work with the credit card systems as well,
you peeps might have to throw on an external steering lock or something for a bit more peace of mind ? |

Just for reference. The Mondeo titanium key really need to be beside the car for the doors to unlock. Any more than a metre away and the door handles are useless.
I wont be hiding my keys in the freezer.
