Unhappy

... complaining about this, but I drove 600 km (~350 miles) today and the rattling of the key made me go crazy. Apparently some parts of the key are slightly loose and during driving start resonating. It is really annoying (possibly especially since I focused on it so much after a while).

I found only 1 reference to this in searching the forum. Anybody having the same problem or perhaps a solution?

Regards The Shrike

Some more info would be helpful. What year? In other words is this a real key like early version or is it the fob for use with the Start Button?

Do you have push button start? If so, you can start the car in the normal fashion...then shut it off with the start/stop button, pull out the fob and push the start/stop button again. The car will start right up without the key! And then you can put the key in your pocket or wherever.
