A device and method for a key fob. The key fob device can include a housing, a lid defining one or more apertures, a circuit board including one or more switches, and a flexible film coupled to the housing and/or the lid. The flexible film can include one or more contact surfaces and stylized graphics.
A transponder authorization system and method. The transponder authorization system can include an operator device (14-18) having a transponder (20-24) and an antenna (28) coupled to a powersports vehicle (30). The antenna (28) can generate a field. The transponder authorization system can also include an authorization system electrically connected to the antenna (28) and an ignition switch (34). The transponder authorization system can also include a button (36) coupled to the ignition switch (34). The button (36) can be pushed by an operator to actuate the ignition switch (34). The transponder (20-24) can receive and transmit a signal when in the presence of the field. The authorization system can verify the signal in order to start the powersports vehicle (30).
