The huge Jeep key fob issue solved (well maybe)

[Pig-Pen]

I’ve never had an issue with size of the fob, then again I don’t have small hands. Hope y’all find a solution for the petite hand folks.

ive got deep pockets. The fob fits right in.




j/k if i had deep pockets i wouldnt be driving a sport

Yeah I like idea of my Jeep starting in my closed garage every time I get close enough.

I hear the well founded sarcasm. I'd have to think that a feature to start the engine, even if available, along with auto unlock the doors when in proximity, would be options and not the default.

I hadn't thought of this before. No vehicle I know of tests the ambient air for CO levels, stopping the engine if they get too high. There's probably all sorts of liability with such nanny-features too.

On rentals most of the companies wire both FOBs together - so much fun lugging two of them around.

oh I just cut those apart as soon as I rent the car!

I was hoping this thread was going to be about how to stop the switchblade key from popping open in my pocket!

I would look back at who got CarPlay first. Those companies probably have the best relationship with Apple and will get it first. The way ATT used to get everything Apple first. But then again, if your customers screamed at you for being last, you probably don’t want that to happen again.

NFC is great technology. My city has it for the subways and it works well. You don’t accidentally pay for others. I doubt it will go off unintended,

Any pics of the stock fob vs. that one? Stock fob def looks better IMO

That's easy...just close a rubber band in with the blade and then trim it even with the housing. I did that months ago and it hasn't opened since. And you can still push the button and pop the key blade out if you need to, but you'd need another rubber band if you wanted to keep it restrained again.
Here’s mine:

I agree, fits in the pocket much better and no more key flipping open.

If your willing to open the fob you can remove the torsion spring that makes the key pop out when the button us pressed.

If the key's needed after removal of the spring, pressing this button with the fob oriented properly will still have the key drop out, but by virtue of gravity, not the wound spring's release of its potential energy.

I stopped to use a gas station restroom and the key had a Jeep Key Fob attached so nobody could walk off with it.

You Sir, (or Ma'am) owe me a new computer keyboard. Laughed so hard that I just spewed my morning coffee all over it while sipping and browsing before work.

These are a nice (see fancy) solution to keep the key contained without blocking off the buttons.
