E U G Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Is there any way to disable this on the key fob? I don't know what it is about this key fob, but I'm accidentally hitting it all the time. It's never been an issue with any of the other cars we've owned. I don't even recall one time that I've hit it accidentally with other cars. Just in the last 2-3 months, I've probably accidentally hit it at least 8 or 9 times. A couple times in the middle of the night at a packed campsite. I don't see why these key fobs even have that button. If I'm in trouble, the last thing I'm going to do is fumble around for my keys and look for that tiny button. lol And for women, I'm pretty sure a loud scream will get more attention than another annoying car alarm going off.

The_aSSet Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Ah, well you could pop open the remote and see where that button is and unsolder it out something like that, or break the little button part. other than that I doubt there is anything else you can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E U G Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Maybe I'll give it a try. My soldering skills have gotten better since fixing the instrument panel lights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLNAWAY Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 LOL, no it goes off when the keys are in my pocket. Ive had the same issue just seems like that button is super touchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Agreed. Just un solder the connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would try a drop or two of epoxy between the button and the case before I take the case apart but I have easy access to epoxy. (Boat builder, use the stuff every day.) Thickened super glue might work, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The case is easy to open, instead of getting epoxy everywhere and having it it lock up the whole remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 All you have to do is fold a tiny piece of paper up and put it in between the button and the contact and it will never go off and it is very simple to do i have done it on all my fobs and everything else will work perfect!!!

gmJake Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Wear it around your neck and tell everyone it's your Lifeline medical alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willoverkill Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I thought there was a setting, using the controls on the steering wheel, that you can shut the alarm off.. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
