I think the only hard part to that would be possibly getting the spring in to hold the switchblade key. It would just take a moment of patience, probably not "hard".
It's not.
You just need to remember to put a couple of turns of pretension on the spring, or the key acts like it needs Viagra.

Went through the 22 pages of this thread and seemed to have missed the details on when the expected release date is and how to place an order :/ is there a Kickstarter or website to follow for updates/release date?? This thing looks awesome 👌🏽👌🏽

They're in beta testing now.
The finished product target date is early next year.
I don't know how DI Labs intends to market them, but there was mention of setting up a PayPal account.

I was a very early adopter of the AJT Fob... Many that have the AJT Fob, complain that they have issues getting the battery in. I don't... Anyway, how is the battery situated in this beta fob and do you have to work at getting it in lets say?

I sure do look forward to buying one of these fobs in Jan. 2021 !
It is no problem at all the battery fits easily.

I am also an early adopter of the AJT Fob. At first it was difficult getting the case halves together, but after running my fob through the laundry a few times I now have acquired the skills to replace the battery first try every time.

People are really impressed when I pay with my Apple Watch. This is next level. Can’t wait til I can get one that opens and controls everything in my life.
Hope you never require an MRI as it will promptly uninstall it for you.

I was showing my gal pal the photo below today.... Told her I was psyched.... and wanting this aftermarket fob..

She said she liked it BUT.... but, right off noticed the 3 grill icons on the red fob were not representative of a JL grill.... but rather representative of a JK grill..

I'm sure this grill issue, can be easily addressed by @crdouglass3 ....... I'm sure my gal pal is not the only OCD one.. 8-)

But she is ok with the ‘panic’ jeep not being a JL or JT?

our beta ones do not have the grill on them or the little jeep and guy. I am willing to think that could be an option later or is not happening at all

Once they come out for sale I will be willing to take a go at one. If its something that I don't like like the AJT I'll just revert back to the original

Yup, indeed, switching/reverting back to the stock fob or moving from an AJT fob to this offering is an easy thing to do...

Only thing that can go wrong is, if you damage the chip.

The chip doesn't fair well if you pierce it with a pick or slice it with a razor lets say.

Just go easy / be a tad careful with the chip.. The chip is not real fragile but again, don't cut into it or poke a hole in it.
Yep that was the pain getting it out to move it to the AJT FOB had to be careful with it. It should probably come out more easily now since I have removed it and then put it back after not liking how much a pain in the ass getting the battery, etc into the AJT fob was. Mines in the leather holster currently which has been working out well but willing to go for something smaller for sure.

Look forward to seeing how this turns out. I like the AJT but always willing to look :) - smaller would be better!
