"BTW, just to show you an example of how euro carmakers are different, my  
1991 Alfa 164 has a switch in the steering column you can hold as you turn the  
key to the ON position to activate the selftest circuit and then proceed to  
count the blinking lights."
 
You chose the word shrewdly, "different".  That's certainly a driver  
convenience feature.  On the other hand, it's another switch to break and  another 
circuit to short.
 
Besides, you can re-use the paper clip to reset the remote-entry receiver  
if/when you need a new keyfob off ebay.  For SHO owners, it's a nice  generic 
kinda tool  ;-)
