some interesting suggestions. In the past I just havent taken the rex to the beach, taken the escort and just stashed the keys...

I find stashing them somewhere works pretty well as long as no-one sees/knows which car they are for...i guess pretty hard if the beach is pretty packed..hmm.

even the older 98 99 model keys which dont have keyless entery still have electronic chip inside the key which matchs up with the ecu dont they ?

when you get to the beach get chatty with some chicks that are there sun baking, then leave your stuff with them.

nice.

MY MY98 had a factory imoboliser. I'm sure it had a rolling code for the key (check in your handbook) so must have some sort of electronics. Reckon it would be fairly waterproof though unless opened a few times. The new ones with buttons I think would suffer pretty quick.

The Brant is the imobiliser and my key has a solid plastic base with nothing to open up. There's no electronics in it, but I don't discount the fact that the older pre-brant gc8's might have a chip.
