I guess I’m the only one who fidgets with the pop out key in my jacket pocket, while I’m waiting in line for stuff...open-closed-open-closed… lol.
I do wish it was smaller though, and these aftermarket options look good. Might have to try one. And get a fidget spinner or something for standing in line.

There are quite a few nice key fob replacements here and I almost pulled the trigger on one. I ended up just taking the key part out of the fob to resolve the most annoying part of the key fob, when it unlocks in your pocket and stabs you in the leg. The key fob is still larger than it needs to be so if that is a problem you want to fix, you will want to go with one of the after market key fob replacements.

If you want to do it yourself, just follow the AJT instructions (yes, that is what I was going to buy) and stop when you've removed the key and re-assemble the key fob. I put the key on my key ring in case I ever want it. It was a no-cost and easy mod.

I just kind of stretch a rubber band across the gap and close the key on it, then trim the rubber short. Holds the key in place until I need it again, which is rare.

This is the largest FOB I've ever had, but really not a problem. A simple cover eliminated the issue with the key opening in my pocket.

I went with Gibson's fob cover, fixed the problem and added a little style

Amazing, this is at least the fourth thread whining about the key fob. I wonder how many dozens of pages THIS one will get to?

To help clear this up for you, whining is an adjective describing someone who is complaining in an annoying way. This post was about resolving the key fob issue. In simple terms, a resolution is not the same thing as whining.

Grade school lesson over

someone who is complaining in an annoying way.

I didn't know that. I always used it more neutral. But you are right, the keyfob whiners are definitely doing it in an annoying way, and also funny to laugh at. Good point.

I took care of it with a rubber band months ago. No more problems…

this might get good

It has, with the last four+ rounds of whining.

If you really think about it, FCA was looking out for our safety when designing the fob knowing that we travel in far off and isolated areas.

Think about it for a second, It opens nicely in our pockets with the press of a button, (OK, so sometimes unwarranted, I'll give you that), has a large enough handle to firmly grab and wrap your hand around, yet is still small enough so that you can withdraw it from your pocket quickly and stealthily enabling you to stab that bastard in the eye who sneaks up behind to rob you as you enter your vehicle.

It's really a legal swtichblade, just in disguise. I'm keeping mine!

Your shackle is too big.

I got the silicone covers from Amazon and so far they have curbed the issue for me. The button is recessed so it won’t get pushed in my pocket. There’s so many places to use the key that I want to have it available. Glove box, console, back seats and under seat storage. I still feel like I’m carrying an 80’s garage door opener tho LOL
