Panic button disable

[Terrymo]

First with panic button.

I did what @Rhinebeck01 suggested and removed the rubber trigger with tweezers from the circuit board before I switched to an aftermarket model m key fob.

Read here to learn how to easily physically disable or desensitize a bit, the panic button on a JL/JT fob. . Reversible methods and does not damage the fob circuit board..

I have a smart aftermarket key with display, so I need to physicaly disable the connection to that button. But if there is possibility to turn it off via OBD I will do that.

rule number one, act like it was not you.

There was no hiding it lol, I'm fumbling around in the dark with the keyfob trying to shut it off, and instead I apparently hit the remote start. 392 with the open bypass startup and now the headlights on too. I left -very- early the next morning...

I had never heard of a panic button till I came to this forum. Across Australia a panic button on a key fob is very rare but they can be bought through 3rd parties.

I see it on some mercedeses and this is also my first one panic button in key fob. But I dont like it.

No wonder you couldn't figure out how to turn off the panic button.
Shouldn't you have posted this thread in the Chinese knockoff forums?
The OEM FOB has a huge red PANIC button.

I could not find the key. And this one have HW keys on the back....the main problem was that I could not find the key and I tryed to muti it by closing door, start, lock, ulock... and nothing worked.

I used JSCAN to disable my panic button, for me the panic button is just a vehicle locator as ppl have become numb of hearing a horn blowing.

Camping in the trailer attached to the truck. Felt movement like someone was messing with the propane tanks. Could have pressed the lock button for a quick chirp of the horn to let them know I'm awake. Panic button was available to let the neighbors know to look outside. Ended up not needing any of that. Tanks and battery are locked to the trailer, which whoever probably figured out in no time.

The key fob for our other Jeep model is much worse. Just a rounded bar with live buttons all across the front. Nothing is recessed. As mentioned above, you could just bend over and set the stupid thing off. How hard would it have been to recess these buttons? Total design fail.

Third parties like…Holden?

If you are in a large very dark parking lot with a few scary looking bad guys approaching you that button can become a very welcome friend! (don't panic)

This an ironic post. I just took my wife to the airport(literally just walked in the door and sat down). She requires me to go in with her to get checked in. I had parked in the short term parking at Sky Harbor. I got her squared away and was heading back to the Jeep. Thought I had it nailed. Ended up on the right level but the wrong end and for the life of me couldn't see or figure out how I screwed up. One push of the panic button and "Viola" Found my bad boy way down on the other end. I found it very useful Ha Ha....

I've never intentionally used the fob panic button, nor have I ever heard of any acquaintances using it. That said, I still like the idea of it.

After rolling over my fob in my tent at 2:00 AM in a crowded and peacefully sleeping campground and several other unintended panic deployments, I popped my key fob open and trimmed the rubber on the back of the button. You can still use it but it now takes a determined press of the button.

But a better tent? Ours all have pockets on the sides and ceiling so I don't roll over my FOB, glasses, or anything else. I'd argue it's not a FOB design issue just simple use error.

Agreed, the tent was fine - this was total operator error.
But I did learn - the keys found a tent pocket immediately thereafter, and as bonus, I was able to get out of the campground without anyone slashing my tires

2025... !!!
I cannot believe reading this, some people never heard/seen it, some have no idea what is it for, some never heard of using the Tazer or JScan to disable the button, and some suggesting butchering the remote to disable the button... WTF ?!??!
