Probably it would end up being cheaper and easier to wire up a simple prox-card reader to the underside of the driver's seat and keep the prox card in your wallet. Only problem is that it would probably kill the engine if you put it in park at a red light and jumped to the back seat to grab your CD folder or something. Perhaps one of those small keytag sized HID prox "cards" on the ring with the Vanagon key, and a small mullion reader in the dash that powers up when you turn the key to ON and triggers a latching relay feeding the fuel pump relay.
