Just why?

Why do manufacturers need to attach an giant ass screen on car keys now?

Who thought this was a good idea?

why not, it looks cool. I got an aftermarket remote for my car too to make it awesome

In the 7 series you can use it to back the car out of the garage without having to get in it. Looks fucking baller.

These things are marketed to people who can afford them. Evidently not you OP.

>Why do manufacturers need to attach an giant ass screen on car keys now?
Because (usually) the types of people who buy nu-BMW will be unironically persuaded by little gimmicks like that because they're also the same types of people who think buying a nice car will get them laid easier (e.g. Elliot).

Basically, you get some poor virginal beta into the BMW dealership, he sees that keyfob, and he thinks "boy, all the sluts sure would get wet for me when I pull that bad boy outta my jorts pocket...then they'd know for SURE i've got lots of money since they'd know I drive a BMW, a NEW one!"

...

kek they look like phones from 2004

SCREENS EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

no it's more like hedge fund managers trying to one up each other

>implying hedge fund managers can't also be desperate betas
>implying there aren't some guys out there who become hedge fund managers/[other lucrative occupation] because its basically a massive cope and they have no game with women other than "h-hey I made $1.2mil last year with bonuses, w-wanna take a ride in my 6-series"
I mean theyre probably not virginal since they can afford high-class escorts, but still...you're not exactly a badass if you have to Pay to Play

So uh... what's the point? It displays "infos" you can see on the fucking dashboard/screen?

thats gross

So you can put them in your custom leather man purse next to your tablet-sized phone and your boyfriend's horse dildo.

brruuuuh

>delusional bmw fanboys believe actually rich people would brag about a BMW
They tend to buy cars that don't look like a rebadged 20k shitbox.

they're not worried about the future. they can make more money if the tech in their cars goes obsolete in less than 6 years. engineered obsolesce

>Low Car key Battery warning


It gets even worse when you have to open the damn thing in half to swap the battery coin, only to work only on a 3m radius

>their manufacturer is too cheap to make appz for all this shit
>2018

>don't have a smartphone
>limited car functionnality

if you can afford a car that links via an app then i think you can afford even the most basic of smartphones

Marketed towards people who blow their money on garbage that depreciates faster than you can turn a pizza into a turd

I could easily afford a brand new BMW 7-series, hell even an X6M. Why though? I have two cars in my garage that see < 500 miles a year and are appreciating and a $8000 daily driver that I maintain and it looks new. If I'm going to spend money, it needs to make me money.

Tryhards blow their cash on BMWs. Not me

To be honest I think all this presence keyfob to be really lame. Who asked for this feature in the first place? I thought everyone loved pressing that button and hearing your car go "beeeep" to unlock the doors. It's part of the experience.
And who was the fag who complained about inserting the fucking key in the key slot? Isn't that part of driving a car?

An iPhone 5 will set you back all of $50 on ebay.

But what if you do NOT want to own a fucking smartphone?

than you wouldn't buy a smartphone car, genius

>I have world view
>Ohnoes, my world view keeps being proven wrong
>My world view is correct, I am not wrong!
>RRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE
When will BMW ever learn lads?

Buying a car with integrated gps, microphones and internet is asking to get cucked/spied on.

Then you get shipped off to a farm somewhere with the other autonomous, real human beings.

was that the best bond car?
I'm thinking it was.

>has push button start
>still needs giant but fucking key fob

to be fair, an i8 is a pretty baller car. Thing has looked futuristic since it came out, and it's a fucking great drive.

>Work at an auto shop
>Grab keys to the customers vehicle
>It's an old Chrysler key with an aftermarket keyfob
>Herewego.tiff
>Has a viper alarm
>Go out to be greeted by heavily rusted pinch welds and dents all over the body
>Clearly I'm not qualified to work on this fine automobile
>Walk up to the door
>It's locked
>>Who would unironcally want to steal something from this piece of shit
>Whatever
>Unlock the door using the factory key
>The premium viper alarm system has detected a break in
>Alarm starts screeching like a bansee
>But it's not just the horn
>It's that stereotypical alarm from years ago that makes all different types of sounds
>Literally some shit that you would see in a movie
>People are starting to stare at me
>>For fucks sake how do you turn this thing off
>Decide to start the van in an effort to turn off the alarm
>R u srs
>Its still as loud as ever
>Turn off the van and rip the keys out
>Start button mashing that stupid fucking key fob
>The beast rests
>Continue on about my day

I hate those so much.

Meanwhile here's Mazda's key fob, it's a proximity lock so I don't actually have to take it out of my pocket

larp: the post

>he thinks cars are an investment
Even cars that do appreciate do so at such a slow rate that the rate of return isn't worth it. Keep LARPing though

Honestly most key fobs are really ugly. Even exotics like Lamborghini and Porsche have ugly fobs. I wish they could make something more like jewelry but still understated

This is what peak keyfob design looks like.

>He has buttons and plastic on his key

>no panic button

I think the BMW fobs are rechargeable

There was a car in the last decade (Porsche maybe) that had a permanent key switch you could turn--still had to have the fob in the car and the foot on the brake before it would start though.

Nice

I admit that kind of key is useful for cleaning the dirt under the nail. So it's practical.

Which car manufacturer uses diamond as they fob?

Was it Rolls Royce or Bentley?

Your thinking of Genesis, friend

>$50 iphone
maybe a locked one from a guy called tyrone

>car that you'd drive every day
vs
>two cars that never move and just sit there

but i guess you "know what you got"

The switchblade part of the key breaks really fast. They even broke on demo cars at my dealer that were barely a month old.

>Who thought this was a good idea?


The same people who think Infotainment systems, TCS, ABS, back up camera, and automatic transmissions are required to make a good car.

>Hating ABS and traction control
Let me guess, you’re the kind of guy who complains about smart phones and modern music all of the time too. And that 400 HP is more than anybody ever needs.

>hyundair
>peak anything

lol k

Hyundai is literally just an appliance. They're dull, soulless and just bought by the elderly or by women. At least Honda makes the NSX and Kia makes the Stinger.

Kia is the same as Hyundai you fucking mong

>le born in the rong jenurashun
Found the underage b&

Hyundai make Genesis cars which are better than Acura's luxury cars
KIA is under the same umbrella as Hyundai, the Genesis G70 is gonna be a lighter, better looking Stinger

>so retarded he doesn't know how to unlock a shitbox

looks like a flat out rip off of mercedes with the BMW bangle butt and a aston martin style badge. the theme of design stealing continues.

How about you calm down there user (who is definitely not a Hyundai social media Influencer)

Looks nothing like a Mercedes. The resemblance to Audis and BMWs makes sense since it's designed by former Audi and BMW people
The guy that ran BMW's M division is heading Genesis now for fucks sake

>your car has some shitty app which can easily be hacked/manipulated
who the fuck would want a car "on the network"?

>he wasn't born before any of those things were common place
It sounds like the underage is you

SO U CAN PRESS THE BUTTANZ xDDDD
Honestly, tech ignorant faggots that need every single app they can get their hands on are terribly undermining the security efforts of others.

...

How fucking retarded are you fuckwads

We're in a superposition of not at all and completely reliant on the life support. Until you make an effort to argue how we are either of the extremes, you get to shut the fuck up.

>vary

...

That actually looks so much uglier

Ok but I actually agree with on this, the giant badge trend is ruining modern luxury cars. Also the giant grill trend to accommodate the giant badge trend. The genesis is much more subtle while still having the stand-out design of modern cars, if that makes sense. This is purely from an aesthetic point of view though, idk anything about the performance unless it’s comparable to a 2002 Accent

Nah

Maybe if your American hamhands were more careful they would last more.
I never saw one of these break.
I think he was just talking about the style of the keyfob. Other companies use that kind of keyfob too.

Who the fuck is gonna bother hacking a Hyundai of some random user? He's not, say, a high-profile journalist about to write an expose on illegal wiretapping by the NSA....

And everyone wants the convenience of the network. It's the difference between you having to be within 10 feet of your car to remote start, and me remote starting from the 12th floor of my hotel room.
