How do you protect your remote key?

andrew · **October 12, 2009, 16:11:04**

My key looks a lit worn only after being used for 3 months. I put it in my pocket with my other keys. not a big deal now but a bit worry that it will be worn severely in the long run. How do your keys look like?

My main fob is in pristine condition. I don't keep it with anything else, in pockets or otherwise. My spare is kept safe in my briefcase.

As my grandad used to say.. "look after your keyfob and your keyfob will look after you". Or something like that

Hi Andrew, my key fob looks as new. i keep in my brief like shambles.
i think out of all our members, Shambles and eye30, had to fight so hard for there second key fob, they would treasure them. at least that's the feeling i get.

OK, I'll take the bait ...... You keep your keyfob in your briefs !?!?!?!

snowcherry · **Reply #7: October 13, 2009, 02:17:45**

it's a problem?

my spare is in my underwear drawer or brief drawer

and the one i use goes in my handbag

tk421 · **Reply #8: October 13, 2009, 03:33:42**

I don't know how your key can be in such bad condition... my main key is kept on a keyring along with bottle opener, house key, etc, etc and i carry it in my pocket - it's still in great condition.

My spare was put in a very good hiding place. So good that i don't even remember where it is

I keep mine in my handbag and the spare in a location I'm not sharing....

My main keyfob I have had since January of this year, and it's still as new.

Although, I don't like my girlfriend flicking it in and out. I'm afraid it'll lose it's ability to flick from "garaged" to *cough* "erect".

sweetbix · **Reply #14: October 13, 2009, 08:52:54**

LOL

I can't help but flick it in and out whenever it's in my hands...

it's like a pocket knife...

Ha, that's actually a GOOD call Duckman...
I hired a Holden Statesman (they have a similar remote key thingy) in Brisbane a few weeks ago, and its key was, er... "Droopy"!

Edit: Maybe someone:

Duckman · **Reply #17: October 13, 2009, 09:10:57**

Heh, "flaccid" seems more appropriate!

Just thought of one: "Is that a KeyFob in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

The Ford's don't have fold up keys !!!

They sure do..

Blue · **Reply #22: October 13, 2009, 10:21:34**

Fair enough !

But if you watched them at Bathurst on the weekend, you'd swear they had FIXED keys, and Fold up Engines !!!

(Seriously though the new ones I have been getting recently, have solid keys. Much smaller too with a separate remote like this one).

Sadly, it is as a product mate.
Even if you have a pink one with BIG fins on it !

And once they reach 40K, they will even be gone from rental places altogether too I imagine !

Anyhow, I stand corrected Sweetbix ! I should have said not ALL Fords have them.

should your spare key location really be secret?
