Default Key with built in remote

Does anyone know of a 2005 mustang key with the lock/unlock buttons built in to the key itself? Like the ones on the new mini coopers? If this is not available, does anyone know of the "flip keys" that are on some VW jettas?

better then a key is the door handel and steering wheel finger sensors.....i can't remember which car it was, but it would only open and start up if the scaned YOUR fingerprints. There was a spare override key for emergencies or if someone needed to borrow your car. I think the figerprints were programed into the computer at the dealer so that you were the only one who could ever use that feature.

whats a flip key?

thats the lexus LS 430, or thats the first one that did that anyway. And the deal is they give you a card or a ring that you put somewhere on your body (pocket or finger) and when you get close enough to the car, it senses the ring/card and unlocks the door. As for starting it im not sure. I think u just mash the START button.

As for the types of keys. I had a lexus ES 300 before this car and it had a button built into the key that unlocked and locked the doors, but thats it.
My dad has an 04 ES 330 and it has a bulky key with buttons on it. Lock, unlock, trunk, and panic. the whole ONE KEY concept is kinda cool, but its not really an advantage or anything IMO. I wouldnt think it would be worth the trouble to try to find one for a mustang, if there is one at all.

The 2006 Ford Fusion uses a key w/ intergraded remote and Passive Anti-theft chip but I don't know if it'll work on the Mustang?
