Car companies would like to remove the lock cylinder all together. The only downfall is when the battery is dead or other electronic failure.. ifor you look, most new cars are a push button on the dash with no key ignition what so ever. I regularly have people in shock when I remove the key from inside their remote that they never new was there

They hide it because nobody every tries a key in the door. And the lack of use creates corrosion and lock failure. As well as aesthetic presentation makes the sales higher. I am in the security industry and have watched people stand outside their car for fifteen minutes pressing buttons on the remote with a key dangling off of it and never even think about putting it in the key hole on the door when it isn't covered with plastic.
