The Fob is too big/fat to be comfortable in a pants-pocket, and is easily misplaced.
The idea of making it "wearable" is good, but not at $200.
I wonder what other way we can make a wearable FOB,.. attach a key chain to a belt loop for nearly zero-cost?
PAAK is easier?

Correct. I haven’t pushed a button on my fob since I received the update that enabled walkaway lock.

When did your ER get WAL? Through OTA update?

Yes, OTA. I want to say June, but not sure, exactly.

There's someone who designed a 3D printed case that turned the FOB into something credit card sized. I would love to do it but it requires soldering which I don't have the equipment for unfortunately. I'd be OK with a 3D print that just shrinks the size of the FOB in general; no need for access to the buttons or anything either. It would be more reliable than PaaK!

agree, I don't rely on PAAK either.
I like having the FOB so I will be able to open the truck door even if the 12-volt battery dies on me one day.

Get a long gold chain and sport that bling. Arm band maybe.

Make up a smart-watch-and-FOB holder 3D print?
