DO YOU KNOW IF AFTER YOU TURN ON THE ALARM, AND THE HOOD IS OPENED IT WILL TRIGGER THE ALARM?
If you open the hood, it does NOT trigger the alarm.

@klhjeep2018

The fob for the Rubi takes a 3 volt, CR2450 battery.
A pack of 4 of them runs $5.25 at Amazon.com...

Ok, here is maybe a dumb question: If you have a JL/JLU sport with manual door locks and manual windows, why does the key fob have a lock and unlock button???? What could / does it lock and unlock?

The FOB for the Sport does not have any buttons other than the "switchblade" button to use the key.

In this day and age of miniaturization, Jeep made a fob that is just as ridiculous as the one that came with my ‘15 Harley CVO. It’s way too big and heavy, and the button that releases the “hard” key is much too easy to activate.
The thing is a dinosaur, and a real pain. Such a shame on an otherwise well thought out vehicle.

It could be worse. It could be the size of the BMW key.
