There are threads about what's in your cubby, glovebox, etc. But not one for keys? So here it goes!

I've been holding off to these Hot Wheels Coupe Clip keychains for a LONG time waiting on my Maverick. Had to get silicone covers to match.

Air tag is a good idea.
Mine is simply in my opposite pocket to my Mini Cooper fob.
WIth the Mini (my 4th in a row), I just click the handle and it senses the fob in my pocket and unlocks.
I still can't get used to pulling out the Maverick's dang fob and using it like a key. Barbaric!

I wanted a simple condensed setup. But also wanted it to have a good color way. I spent too much time and money on it but I really like it and am glad to be back to it. Also the quick disconnect is my favorite pocket fidget.

Just got my 2024 Maverick 3 days ago. Bought this setup and used if for 2 months earlier in 2023 but then my 2023 Maverick was totaled back in July. So it's been a long wait to get back to it.

Where did you find these?? Been looking for good leather covers
I haven't received mine yet. So I can't vouch for the quality. I don't believe they are "Made in the USA". They are highly customizable with many finish options. I expect they will take 4-6 weeks to be delivered. I hope they don't add too much bulk to keep in my pocket. My reason for purchasing is to reduce the chance for pocket presses of the buttons. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1638811105/for-2023-2024-maverick-key-fob-cover?ref=yr_purchases

I keep the keys for our 2 remote start vehicles in my pocket. I love the ability to unlock and start the vehicles without pulling a key out or fiddling with a phone app. Last week, while leaning over a ledge to get some firewood, I triggered the alarm on the Lariat. Since I just got the truck, It took me a few minutes to figure out how to stop the horn. As it was 4 a.m., I needed to apologize to our neighbors after the event. Which leads me to a question... I ordered leather covers for the keys in the hope that it will require a little more effort to push the buttons and hopefully avoid inadvertent pocket presses. I'm interested what experience others have had with the leather covers.

I have those same covers for my fobs; they reduced the false alarms (and I think they look great!), but not enough, so I took a slice out of a plastic milk jug and made up a 'guard' to fit on the face of the fob, with a gap around the panic button, creating a sort of airgap between the leather and the button. I haven't had a false alarm since. Finally satisfied. I will never get why my key fob is nearly as big as a small phone... nor why the panic button isn't recessed.

It's been cool enough most days since I bought the truck to have a light jacket on to carry the keys in; once it gets hot, I'll likely clip the fob to my belt loop. They're a PITA.

Bottle opener my daughter found while we were swimming in the river years ago. I filed it for opening boxes. Pewpew safe key, and a Grand Canyon key tag a friend gave me when he visited the place. Some sentimental value in that and the bottle opener.
If you're wondering why I removed the panic alarm button on the fob. Twice during this past hunting season, I accidentally pressed it while getting ready to go out in the woods at 6am.

If I recall correctly, they're made in a small leather shop in Vietnam. I am pleased with the quality.

My truck's nickname is Hal since it has all this electronic stuff. The color of my truck is Area 51. So I went looking for a "HAL" repro on a key chain. Sure enough went to etsy.com ,typed in HAL and there were keytags with HAL on them!!

I wonder the same thing. It seems like with each car I buy, the fob keeps getting bigger. Does it really need to be this big or is it wanting to remind the customer constantly of what they're driving? Maybe there's a market for them to sell upgraded "miniature" fobs. Personally I'd gladly trade having to swap smaller batteries more often if it meant a smaller remote.

My Maxima fob, which does the same tasks as the Mav fob, is much smaller. I wasn't kidding about it being nearly as big as a phone, either. Here it is next to my backup phone, a Nokia flip. Admittedly, the fob has a leather case, but it's not making it that much bigger.
