FOB SIZE----Too big

[scootertoo]

Do we really need the fob to be as big as this one. None of my other current car/truck fobs is as big as the one for my 2025 Wrangler. I would have much rather it not take up that much space in my pocket.

Replace your stock fob with an aftermarket fob .... choose either an AJT Designs or a Threedom fob.

Easy to do and not all that expensive to do..

Both fob offerings are very nice and yes the physical size of these two aftermarket fobs is way less then the factory fob.

For those with new JL's and for those that have not read through this @Threedom authored thread, this thread is well worth reading through it's entirety.

Lots to learn about that JL fob's inner's you carry.. You'll learn how to change it's battery, how to start your JL if the fob battery or it's fob circuit board dies and lots more..

I haven’t been able to carry keys in my pocket for years. I have to use a belt ring deal.

Between 2 vehicles, home, property gates, tool boxes and such it’s gotten ridiculous.

We have 2 cars and both FOBs are about the same size but I never carry both sets of keys as I can only drive 1 car at a given time. I keep a house key and fence gate key with each FOB so its really not that bad. If I needed shop keys then they would be on a separate purpose key ring as well.

Nothing says you need to carry every key for every lock you may or may not encounter over a 6 month period.

Someone needs to read at the Fob 101 link I posted earlier... https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/fob-101-know-thy-jl-key-fob.88719/

Note: With the AJT Designs fob, the key is stashed in a compartment in the backside of the fob.
With the Threedom fobs, the key is attached externally to the fob except on their Model M+ one of fob offering.

Here’s my solution.(I assume this is what Jeep engineers had in mind.)
