This is why I hate high tech. My S2000 has remote door lock but i don't have it on my key chain, I only use the regular key to lock/unlock my car. The E430 has remote door lock built in the key fob, so my wife uses it all the time.

If you own a Volkswagen with keyless entry, it's likely to be vulnerable to a remote-cloning attack, according to new research.
After reverse-engineering the keyless entry systems of multiple VW models from the early 2000s to 2016, a team of researchers believe that the vast majority of the 100 million vehicles from VW Group sold in that time are vulnerable to a key-cloning attack that leaves the ignition and keyless entry system exposed to tampering.
The attack can be carried out using cheap, battery-run commercially-available radios, which are capable of eavesdropping and recording the rolling codes used by keyless entry systems and then emulating a key. One of the tools they developed for the attack, an Aduino-based RF transceiver, cost just $40 to make.
