My Tahoe had the same thing. it was like a vinyl credit card with a slot in the middle that a key slid out of and it only opened the doors.

I think people were saying you can go to the home depot and they have them... I'm not 100% that it's true though.

Went to Home Depot today. They looked at me like I was nuts, and gave some lame excuse about not being able to cut copies of any keys with chips.

Think I'll try the local locksmith tomorrow.

Definately interested in what the locksmith says.
If that's no go mayb we can do a group buy or come up with enough buyers to encourage WOL of investing, maybe they could be a sponsor...lol. This company makes them (not sure if jeep is an option) for promotional stuff. Be kinda cool to have a JK-Forum or Project JK credit card key for my jeep

Here's a url to their site hillmangroup.com/ekey.htm

Getting one of those wouldn't be a problem. I think most of the guys here are looking for a key you can stick in your wallet.

This happened to me once in a rental explorer in the middle of nowhere. I ended up breaking the window to get in, thank goodness for full coverage.

Just Google "Hitch Key Vault"

That's pretty sweet. Lot more secure than the hide-a-lock magnet. Thanks for posting I'd never seen anything like that.
