Supra Key Product Comparison
You may soon see agents in North Texas choosing new options available from Supra for key devices. The display key (dKey) that you have used for many years is still a low cost, minimal feature option available for MetroTex keyholders. Some associations in the area may opt to replace the dKey with the new Active Key, which offers automatic updates and some premium features, but costs the user substantially more than the dKey option. MetroTex has done a comparison of the costs and features of all products and recommends users who desire more features to take advantage of the features available with using your own smartphone device as your electronic key (eKey). The basic eKey option offers more features than the Active Key, but at a minimal cost increase over the dKey. For Users who want expanded features, including MLS search from their eKey software, the eKey Professional is an option but at a considerable increase in cost. Since MLS offers mobile search options at no additional cost, eKey Basic is the best value in cost and features.
