I agree with everyone here - the smart key has its pros and cons

Some inconvenience from the smart key
- It takes batteries and when it goes dead, its more of a hassle to get into your car and start your engine.

- Also, when you park the car and want to go back to ACC mode (not completely shut down), you can't just twist the keys back like with the regular key, you have to put it in "N" first, push the button, then bring it to "P"

- Its rather large... on my ES350, the smart key itself is much larger than the Camry's integrated key. So it doesn't feel so good if you put it in your pant pocket and sit on it

Some good points
- you'll never be able to lock your key inside your car ever again because it simply wont lock if it detects the keys inside.

- you can really impress people (good/bad??) when the mirrors light up as you approach

- And all the stuff pillpusher84 says... I really appreciate having all the convenience available with the system too


But like JoeB said, to do a conversion job to put this into a CE may be more than a weekend project - prolly not worth the cost.
