Assuming it works, yes, it's a great idea. I am curious to know exactly how it works, though. Particularly if it doesn't need any power to transmit/read.
It also makes me wonder for those of us that installed the red STi push button starter: Do those buttons read a dead key as well, or are we stuck?
