Have you experienced panic attacks due to a wayward and unfindable car key? Toyota’s parts arm Denso is here to help, for a 3,980 Yen ($41) fee. That’s the JDM cost of Denso’s key finder, a small receiver with a buzzer and a LED light that can be wirelessly activated by a smartphone via Bluetooth.
The key finder can currently be used only with iPhone 5, 4S, iPad 5th gen and iPod touch, an Android app is in the works. But what if you can’t find your phone? Then key finder goes both ways: It can make your phone buzz. The key finder will go on sale in Japan by 22nd April, The Nikkei says.

Pretty nifty. I usually put stuff in the same place all the time so I don’t lose it but it would be handy on the off chance I put down my keys in an odd spot. Hopefully they have overcome the range limitations of bluetooth.
I can imagine this one feature (as a dealer-installed option) will sell more cars than anything else, similar to the buzz around the Odyssey minivan and its built-in vacuum.
There are only three places I put car keys: the ignition, my right-front pocket, and a key box by the garage door. Haven’t lost keys yet. And I’m old.
I’ve misplaced keys any number of times.
I eventually find them, but I would buy this.
However, I prefer to buy these products from late night infomercials rather than from a car dealer.
But you can FINANCE IT IN THE DEAL!
I’m sure I’d want to buy this product. I just can’t remember why……
