Panic button

[crowsnest]

Hi can I disable the panic button on my fob? I’m constantly setting off the alarm when I lean against the tailgate, kitchen counter, anything.

You can change it to require 2 presses by using Forscan

In all of the years I’ve owned vehicles with a panic button on the fob I’ve never needed it. Can’t I disable it somehow? Epoxy? Super glue? Silly putty?

Hammer?

I hit mine accidently occasionally too but like to be ready to use it if someone messes with my truck in parking lots. It can help you find your vehicle if you forget where you parked especially at night. Also I keep the fob under my pillow at night and if someone tries to get into the house, I will hit it which should help deter them. The truck is always garaged anytime I'm at home.

What caliber is a fob? If we remove the battery is it now a hollow point?

Just yanking your chain.

I always seem to set mine off while getting into my truck. My keys (I only carry 2) get wrapped around the fob and in between my thigh and the seat bolster and hit the darn panic button. Not fun when it's 6am while in your garage and the horns blasting.

I think, I don't remember for sure, you can disable it entirely in Forscan

I changed mine to double press and haven't set it off by accident since

9 mm with 12+1 hollow points...

@Caseyjay did a physical mod, that I particularly liked because I don't have FORSCAN:
