Tesla Motors Club

After mislaying my key fob, an inquiry found a U-tube post showing how a Tesla car could identify that its keyfob was nearby suggested to me the following: If a Tesla car could recognize the proximity of an authorized key, couldn't a portable device that could identify the presence of a specific or, perhaps ANY Tesla key, be constructed? Though a single such device might cost more than a new key fob, it would prevent an unauthorized fob from lying about, and/or a Tesla Service Center could rent or loan out the device as a customer service feature to a careless owner like myself.

Surely one of the motivated telephone or internet hackers might find this a challenge. Perhaps Tesla might be willing to help in the endeavor.
