Power Switch on FOB
14
Description
Have an on/off switch on the key FOB. It could reduce the confusion when both FOBs are used for driver profiles and the first person who approaches the car is incorrectly detected as the driver.

Moderator: Does require both FOB users to remember to turn on/off each FOB to properly allow detection.

I'm surprised this obvious (and simple) security feature isn't available even on aftermarket keyfobs. I like the idea of simply reaching into my pocket and flipping a physical OFF switch to prevent thieves with RF amps from opening and stealing my car. (Even relay attacks that don't work today can be replaced with newer attacks in the future, although cars that download regular updates should mitigate this.)
Ideally this would be more of a "DISABLE" function than an "ON/OFF" that cuts current from the battery. The car should still be able to communicate with the keyfob and sound a special tone if the driver tries to open the (still locked) door.
