Has anyone fitted aftermarket keyless ignition? I've just bought a 2010 X3 and I'm having a few electrical bits fitted but when I spoke to the ICE installers I'm using about keyless ignition they said that in their experience they haven't found one that worked properly, so any experience to the contrary or in confirmation would be useful. Cheers in advance

That sounds a bit dangerous to me, not sure why.

The walking away and it locking troubles me, I'd be taking the key card in side and walking back out to check it had locked properly!

Thanks, there appear to be plenty of systems out there but it's just that the installers haven't given me a lot of confidence to try one.
I had keyless ignition in my last car and I found it to be really good; it's not a big deal but it would be nice to find out if the aftermarket systems do work OK.

I bought a car without it after spending ages having one with it.

The most annoying thing is getting into the car having left your keys in a jacket or chucking them on the seat. I must have wasted many minutes of my life doing this.
