1-1/2" spider web medallion made into a key cover by attacing a small round magnet to the back. Magnet attaches to metal plate in key openinhttp://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o440/mjshore/Spydie004.jpgg and conceals the key location when parked. $10 from J&P Cycles.

Look good but I hope the magnet doesn't mess with the chip reader that reads the chip in your key.:dontknow:

So far, no problem. The small round magnet I used is only about 3/8" round and it is one of the rubberized versions and not a steel one. I spaced it so that it just reaches the metal plate in the key opening. I think the chip reader is down inside far enough that it won't affect it. Been using it for two weeks and no problems starting and 600 mile service showed no error codes. I would not use one of those powerful steel magnets that you find on some refrigerator toys.
