Key fob isn't big enough... I guess

[Bulldog10]

Just curious, because a few months back there was a scandal with a CSX employee stealing key fobs at the rail terminal and selling them on eBay. He was discovered after some dealers started noticing a lot of cars showing up with only one fob. Some articles say 1000, others 2000 fobs.

Thanks I will make sure of the Two Fobs when I pick Up the Sgt. Major!

How does one actually lose something the size of a small loaf of bread.

Everyone should get a DropStop. It's a flexible foam "tube" that fits between the seat and console. I saw it on Shark Tank and bought a set. Haven't dropped anything under the seat since.

Or just keep a couple rags there. That way you can use them in a pinch and not spend a bunch of money.

Ha. Title caught my eye. I guess the key fob REALLY wasn’t big enough for me Cause I bought one of these several months ago. Fob in one pocket. Knife in other. A-Poe iPhone for communication. SIG 365 in belt. It works well for me because I have no other keys. Everything else is keyless entry including garage and house.

Me Too moment: Fob slipped down beside driver seat, and under console. Seat removal day! I'll cover the gap between floor and console with duct tape - a detail that should be standard from the factory

Any pointers on seat removal? Disconnect the battery first because of airbag sensors...does this cause any issues with electronics?

Or, is it possible to dis-assemble the console with seats in place? The truck is less than 2 weeks old

Seats came out easy, tilted out of the way without disconnecting wires. Fob was completely invisible, under a couple wires (photo is after extraction). Inelegant (but I hope effective) fix, passenger side will have to wait

I personally live the size of the fob. Nice size with some weight. No complaints at all.

Hey everyone, today i joined the lost key fob under center console club. WTF? The most ridiculous thing i have experienced ever. i’m not a car savvy woman but i got it out with the help of this forum..thank you .

i popped off the bolt covers, used a power tool to undo the front and rear bolts of the center console (they were very tight). it was night so we used a flashlight while my son lifted the console and my 5 year old stuck her little hand in there to retrieve the key.

yeesh, what a process. the question remains. why is there a hole under there????

to quote another user here: Fuck the console .

Hope this helps, once i figured it out it took about 10-15 mins.
