Here’s a surefire way to make sure you never lose your car keys.

Amie DD is a software developer, self-described maker of things, and proud owner of a Tesla Model 3. She recently modified her body so she could unlock and start her car with her arm.

The Tesla doesn’t come with a traditional car key. Instead, the vehicle can be unlocked and turned on via a keycard that looks kind of like what you use at hotels.

Amie posted a video on YouTube showing how she removed the RFID chip from the keycard using acetone, which took about an hour. She then placed it into a biopolymer and went to a body modification professional who injected it into her left forearm.

This isn’t Aime’s first RFID chip implant. The original idea was to transfer the Tesla software to her original implant, one she uses to unlock her front door. However, when that attempt was unsuccessful, she decided to just implant another RFID chip.

Readers can check out a second video with Aime explaining the process in further detail below.
