    Angry Key FOB receptacle in S6?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've had the S6 for about a month now and this one thing is bothering me. The key FOB clearly has some sort of indentions for a receptacle but I don't see one anywhere in the car. My buddies S4 has a location to place the key. Am I crazy or does the S6 not have a key storage spot?

    Thanks,
    Sean

    Audi just used the same FOB as the non-smart key models.

    Why would you want to place the key some where, when the advanced key allows you to keep it in your pocket?

    I'm one of those OCD "nothing in my pockets" people when driving (wallet/phone/keys)

    Thanks the responses everyone.

    I hate the fobs with no place to put them. Only bad things can happen. I friend dropped the ladies off at the airport and went to
    fuel and return the car. She had the keys. The car will drive away without a key but will not restart. Doh! I know people who have
    washed theirs several times. How about a credit card that I keep in my wallet. No wallet or purse you don't go anywhere. All your
    service and records can be on the card too. That is where this should be heading. Keep the Fob at home. Card with a Chip is the future.

    And now no place for morning coffee or alike.
    @Island Maser, the display will warn you when there is no key in the car and it is in drive.
