Need to disable the key fob alarm

[BillG]

Honestly, if you don’t want to disassemble the fob, it looks to me like someone who makes knife sheaths or holsters could make a cover for just that end of the fob. Not sure about cost though.

Frankly, I find direct correlation with the success of my diet and how less often such a button might get pressed while in my pocket.

(Rephrase: fat = tight pants = false alarms!)

Not that I can't think of 10 reasons that this potential "solution" might not be one, but I take it that many of you are familiar with the bags that electronic toll devices like EZ-Pass come in that you can stick the windshield device into temporarily if you are paying the toll via another method...bags that stop the radio waves emitted by the booth toll from pinging the windshield device....

I wonder if a small version of same, with Wrangler key fob inside, might do the trick for you.

I do though think that if this is really a problem for you that seeking solutions at the rig's alarm end of the system might be best.

I suspect that the key fob alarm on most cars get used mainly because the person has forgotten where they've parked their car in a large parking lot and they want it to make a sound so that they can find the car.

They ought to install a Train Horn , lol .

first world problems

The key fob is an expensive unnecessary Toy , similar to the screen on the dash with the colored buttons to push .

Expensive for price gouge to fill the bank accounts of Sergio Marachino .

I think you should VOID ALL WARRANTIES and remove the horn and steering wheel. I have been driving over 30 years and never set off a panic alarm.

Good one

the panic button on the key fob is way too sensitive and would set off the alarm just looking at it. I popped off the top key pad buttons (easily pops off) and trimmed back the little rubber piece that pushes in and activates the panic alarm. it takes a lot more effort now to set it off.

These may help. These are my first 2 JL FOB holsters. I will be making 4 designs in total. Snap clips; with and without window and holster clips with and without window. I will have them available in black, brown and tan. I should be able to make them for $35 each including shipping. These are made one at a time by a grumpy old man in the USA, not an Asian assembly line. I use 7-8 oz veg tan leather from US tanners, not urine tanned or vegan leather like you would get from a knockoff. They should outlast your JL. If you have any

interest, you can email me at [email protected], my personal email at [email protected] or I will be placing them on my website www.gibsonleatherworks.com in the near future once my order of holster clips for these arrive and I get a couple built. If you have any questions or would like to provide any feedback on the design or function, please let me know.

You are Very Skillful . Especially thoughtful are the carabiner hooks .

Congratulations. Some people probably engage in more physical activities than you do. Again, just because you don’t personally relate to a problem, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Get a life, dude.

My Mustang also has sensitive key fob buttons. If the fob was facing inward in my pocket...there was a 50% chance the alarm would go off as soon as I sat in the seat. Someone came out with an 'elastic neoprene slip cover' for the fob. . The fob cover puts the buttons just deep enough so that you have to press into the buttons to activate them. I am going to see if the same company can't make covers for Jeep owners.

Again it's a waste of topic makes good for jokes.
My BMW Z4 button is good my Tesla fob is good, my Jeep is Great
And I am very active. Key fob keeps going off I call BS.
But it is comical should be in Marvel

I’ve had the key pop out so many times I covered it with duct tape. Had panic go off once in three months.
People have different lifestyles, you don’t know what the original poster does. I often carry boxes and crates that push against my leg and sometimes mash the buttons.
Just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean it’s

It also might depend upon how much other stuff you carry in your pocket with it. Add some more keys, a pocket knife, and some coins and it's probably more likely. Maybe clothing manufacturers will start advertising their pants as having "Jeep fob pockets" instead of "cell phone pockets"?

Ok, Real men use the watch pocket in there jeans.. Fits perfectly, with a small carabiner on the belt loop.
