It comes with complete instructions and stainless steel mounting hardware. It took me about 20 minutes to install. While mine is fixed, they offer one that’s powered by an electric motor that turns as the car is driven down the road.<br /> <br /> I highly recommend this accessory and the source – <a href="http://www.WindupKey.com">www.WindupKey.com</a> smart Parking Lot Questions tag:www.451s.com,2008-06-20:1912846:Topic:31726 2008-06-20T13:12:56.030Z Dave http://www.451s.com/profile/Dave73 As with every smart owner, I was deluged with questions about my car every time I parked it. Often, it would take 15+ minutes before I could leave. This is to be expected as people want to know. I solved much of this peoblem by creating an "Information Sheet" (copy attached) that I put in a plastic sleeve and place on the dash so it's viewable through the windshield. From my observations, many, many people read this and it has reduced my "lot time" by at least 75%. And I've received "Thank Yous"… As with every smart owner, I was deluged with questions about my car every time I parked it. Often, it would take 15+ minutes before I could leave.

My question is "What good are keys if they won't start the car?" Can anybody help or provide more information?
