true- and If you Take the guts out of the fob it will hold 5 gallons of gas...Ive been told this is the reason for the fob design
It's all a matter of personal preference. It's one thing I have always appreciated about automotive enthusiasts, whatever the brand, the owners are passionate about personalization and mods. It's interesting to see the obsessions and perspectives, I often find it broadens my own point of view, even though I might not adopt what I observe.We could have built a new moon rocket and lander with the amount of time and energy wasted on this. It's been a hilarious insight into what people will obsess about though.
you’re new here huh?Ive been told this is the reason for the fob design
Kind of like your post, right?It's all a matter of personal preference.

What I find hilariously insightful is the time people waste contributing nonsense to topics they clearly don't agree with.
Another version to consider. No buttons. For me I don't use the remote start or any of the other buttons on a regular basis having the 'enter-n-go' passive entry option. The only other car key i carry is the 'sport' key for my XC90. It is the size of a standard USB thumb drive. This would be my goal and inspiration. Obviously with the internal component constraints getting that small would be impossible but a simple sealed case with a clip in slot along the edge for the physical key would be my ideal fob.It's all a matter of personal preference.

I should have some photos of the beta prototypes to share by mid-November. We have already gone through a few alpha prototypes. As a "pet" project of mine, it doesn't make it to the top of the list but it's on the list.I am interested to see how this turns out. The current FOB is just to big and bulky.
Any estimate on when this may be available?
I like this simple design, as i don't have any buttons on my key fob either. I'd be 100% ok with having something like this to house the transponder chip, and a "normal" cut key on a ring for when I lock the console/glovebox/or seat back.Another version to consider.

That would work if you only wanted/needed to use the key, really all you need is a 'head' for the key to store the transponder.I like this simple design, as i don't have any buttons on my key fob either.

The 3rd thread you're referring to - the one I posted a link to - is on the JL Wrangler forumLOL, I wasn't aware that there was a THIRD thread of key whining. Holy crap.
This is the other one I'm aware of: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/key-fob-follies.33741/
You will need something much bigger than the Gladiator to haul all the popcorn you need for that thread.
It comes in handy!true- and If you Take the guts out of the fob it will hold 5 gallons of gas...
