Key Fob Enhancement

I also got one, it is the carbon pattern. It is made out of metal, not sure what it is though. It is not magnetic but it is also not light like aluminum. Maybe stainless steel? It is really heavy for what it is.

 

I like design looks great but with few keys on it you going to open your trunk accidentally pretty often .

 

Actually, that does happen if I have stuff in my pocket or my pants are tight. It is pretty irritating.

 

Found mine on Etsy, full metal and heavy, kinda gunmetal color keeps it classy. Made a good pairing with my old-ish carabiner (1 piece machined titanium).

 

Is anybody there who locate a fob cover going over on front of key fob like heavy silicone to be stiffer to prevent accidentally press those batons once in our pockets. I have the same problem with I 3 I always open front Frunk before I exit my garage.I have to get out of a car and shut a crab.After 6 years using a fob on I3 all front was gone just wear.

 

It is definitely not Ti but I like the added weight, makes it feel higher end.

 

I had the same problem with my SE so I disabled the trunk button in the car menu.

But I still have a problem with button presses when in my pocket which keeps the car from sleeping and causes my SE to give an error that the 12 V battery is draining. I've adopted a new habit of removing my key from pocket when I'm at work since I can't park far enough away to be out of range.

 

At least we have in SE 50 AH when BMW I3 have only 20 AH whenin charging works correctly we have plenty of juice to use for all our accessories

 

But I was sow lucky my 20 AH battery works for me for 7 years from production date AMG battery from Germany

 

A cosmetic looks of key fob is now help is still no doing a job to prevent accidental triggering a batons

 

BMW should do something about key fobs different design as I have a $ 100000 BMW belongs to my son and I tray to wash a car to be good father that **** was beeping and mirrors closing doors opening as long I keep a fob in my pocket must be some solution from BMW

 

BMW as I believe you read that to have some input from customers reset those buttons on fobs a little bit below a service 1/4” and shouldn’t be issue any more and send me money for design.

 

What I did is just increase the amount of time you have to "hold" the button before the pop. Eliminated all accidental openings. Can adjust the hold time for all buttons but I only did the trunk.

 

I try tomorrow. It as long I have no keys on my fob I don’t experience any problems to trigger a buttons

 

I've seen a lot of those key-fob slimmers, but I'm holding out for one that is cleverly customized for the SE.

 

Slightly off topic, but what does the trunk button actually do? Is the trunk supposed to actually open on its own? My button seems to make the trunk click, but you wouldn’t notice anything if you weren’t next to it actively listening.
