the FOB

[wordslayer]

What do most of you do with the FOB? Do you put it on a keyring? Attach keys to it? Or do you just leave it solo and stick it into your pocket/purse?

My current keyring has a few other keys on it and I'm thinking that if I put a ring on this new FOB that this could be quite cumbersome to carry around.

Carry it in cargo area only place it’ll fit.

Transported in the back of my friend's JLU, bus. Won't fit in my JL 2dr.

I make my wife carry it in her purse.

I don't know if the above will help you. It's due out in late Spring, its size is similar to the factory fob except if you traced its size on paper, laying flat, it would be a bit narrower at about 1.5" width, and of course it's an additional expense. : - )

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I miss the days when you could just shove a key into a dashboard. I hate the push button start. I get in the car now and have to find a place to sit my keys. Put them in the passenger seat? The console? Don't want it in my pocket when I drive. I loved just shoving that key into the dash/column. I'm lucky now to even remember to turn the car off when I get home. That never happened when I had a traditional key.

Pocket. One housekey on it as well - my "minimalist" daily keyring.

Everything else is on a second keyring that's carried only when needed - other vehicle, boat, mailbox, etc.

you do know that the slot between the cup holders is made to hold the fob don’t you?

I used to have a key ring & house keys on it but I took the ring off and now have it with nothing else on it. Just have it in my pocket or coat pocket and its fine.

yes, it's just the other stuff that I have on the keyring ( the tile, keys, etc) that probably keep it from fitting there. Although, since I don't actually have the jeep yet I don't know for sure.

you know, sitting here thinking about it, I guess this is really the way to go any more. I've been thinking about putting coded locks and stuff on the house so maybe this is a good time to do it.
