If you put the fob in a hitch safe, what's to keep someone from walking up, pulling on the rear handle and opening the Jeep?
Hopefully you remember to do that action!
You're right! It's kind of unique occurrence for me, so I think it will trigger my memory to change that setting. While I haven't used the hitch safe a ton, the times I did use it I found it quite handy. You asked the right questions, glad you brought it up.
). I'll still probably turn off the proximity anyway when I use it, but this was good exercise to see how it would behave. Maybe others can try it to see if they get the same results.
I did the same thing in response to a similar thread a while back. When fob was in the receiver, I could not unlock the rear by grabbing the handle. As soon as I took the fob out and held it just outside the receiver the door unlocked fine.You're right!

Edit: I had not yet put the hitch safe in the Jeep, so these posts reminded me to do it. Curious about the proximity aspect, I put the fob in the safe, closed it up and. . . nope, the proximity feature did not work; I tried the gate and both doors. Removed fob from the safe and the proximity worked again. Repeated a couple times just to make sure, but it appears the thick steel of the hitch receiver blocks the signal (Faraday-grade steel?
So i guess they go and hiking without a phone and if they get hurt hiking where they cant walk what do they do ? i know people who have broken their leg mountain biking and luck they had a friend with them and cell phone or they would have been in trouble. some bike trails here in Texas you can go 25 miles in one direction around Lake Grapevine and you better have a friend and a cell phone because you are so far in there its a long ways for someone to find you if no one else is around you on that day. I would NEVER go biking or hiking without a cell phone even if i have a friend with me. you could bleed to death if t was a bad wreck. why take the chance just because its a little uncomfortable
Primarily for watersports - swimming, surfing etc., but plenty of times I felt better by locking the key in truck (Raptor) and using keypad to open when returning from hiking or cycling. One less thing to worry about losing on the trail. Still carried my phone on terrestrial ventures.

No, you’re just one of the few that knows about it.Am I the only one that the government put a tracking chip in when I was born?
