Okay, whatever. You obviously know way more about RFID than I do. But you completely sidestepped the main point I was trying to make about the fobgina having no functional value in this car (other than being a hole to stick your fob into if you don't want to keep it in your pocket). You previously stated that the keyhole powers the fob if it has no battery. What I'm saying is that there's no value in doing that as far as I'm able to see. i.e., the functions of the fob that require power won't/can't be used while the fob is in the keyhole/fobgina anyway.
