I did a search and didn't find any discussion on the smart key and what to keep it away from. The dealership told us not to have the smart key and our cell phones in the same pocket. Forget the reasoning. But...my question to you all is can I keep my smart key in my laptop bag? Like in the compartment on the outside of where the laptop is located? This is where I always kept my keys and have my wallet in there as well. I would really like to keep it in there so I am not forgetting it and leaving it in my pants pocket or possibly washing it. TIA!
