Key Fob Follies

But then you'll have holes in your door and maybe the seat, too.

Did you just call me a bad shot?

Oh, you meant the bullet deflection caused by the gravitational pull of the fob, right?

What do you do if you're parked somewhere and when you return to your jeep, someone is sitting in the driver's seat. If you get too close, they will be able to start it and drive away.

What do you do when you get home and you find someone in your house?

Throw my giant Jeep fob at their head.

Seriously man, do I always have to be the one here with all the answers?

My answers are always correct, but only if you asked the right question.

I'm in the engineering consulting business. We charge extra for correct answers.

But seriously, how do any of us have time for this sh . . . sentimental show of affection? Don't we have jobs?

I'm currently watching a server apply patches, and pairing the Bluetooth in my new motorcycle helmet to my phone and the handlebar remote, and killing time. Many of may days involve a lot of time waiting for things to happen. Good time to post-whore.

Usually I say"Hi honey, how was your day?"

For those that doupt this, sit in the driver's seat with the fob in your left hand and see how far away you can hold the fob and still start. Mine won't start fully extended, but it will start with the fob outside the perimeter of the vehicle.

Hi Jerry, it's great to have you post here in the Key Fob Follies thread. I only hope this thread is as entertaining as your DSS threads are educational.

I didn't accuse you of providing meaningful information. Educational and informative (and helpful) but meaningful?

I was posting fob information before I posted ESS information.
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/fobless-key.9256/post-211357
This one was a little after I started posting ESS information
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/fob-key-detension.15896/post-388127
Then I got so busy with ESS that I never even posted my fix for the rain gutter gap allowing leaking into the cab.

Remote start range is at least doubled over my Wranglers. I've never tested the unlock range, that doesn't seem useful in any way (being far and unlocking). Either way, as Martin said, I don't really care. It doesn't create a problem.

Another thing that creates size is ruggedness. It think you could drive over this fob.

I did notice that I can remote start my JT much further away than my JK.

The JK had one of the keys with the fob built into the head of the key.
It was way more convenient to carry, but the range was not nearly as good.

I do like having the push button start in the JT.
If I forget to unlock my console and glovebox after I start driving, I can unlock it without having to stop and shut the Jeep off. I do that a lot when the doors are off.

See, this is part of the list of little things I totally forget about. Same here, I'm forgetful. Hard to pop the metal key out of the ignition on the freeway and unlock the console to reach something.

So, you're actually believing he's touched a woman, and not just talking to his inflatable doll?
