Default smart key

Does anybody know if you can get a smart key/RFID for an 02 monte? (Talking about start button, walk up to your car and it unlocks, walk away and it locks, etc.)

Corvettes have it...They started the push button start in '05 with the C6, but they've had the keyless fob that autolocked and unlocked for years. They started that with the C4. I'm sure there is a kit out there, but I can't imagine that it would be cheap. I believe that the Cadillac XLR has this system too; I mean, it is a Cadillac Corvette with different sheet metal and other minor differences. )

yeah it is. One the C6 'Vettes, if your fob is outside the car it won't start. I believe there are multiple sensors inside the driver's door panel. It's a pretty impressive system.

My friend's top-of-the-line Lexus IS350 has a walk-up starter.

The car starts when he get within a few feet of the driver's door.

Yeah? Well my friend's...I'm just kidding GPD, that is pretty cool, but I wonder about the reliability issues if any. I know when a fob for a 'Vette dies it disables the ignition until a special sequence is performed on either that fob or the other fob, kind of like a theftlock for the key fobs.
