    Size. The OP states 25% smaller than OEM. Some people like that. Maybe you aren’t one of those people.

    Never understood the purpose behind putting energy to talk/type s**t on a thread that you have no interest in. Just keep scrolling and move on. Literally doing it just to troll.

    I'm very interested in this, and I'll probably end up buying one. But I wouldn't be buying it because it's smaller in size.
    Do you guys have tiny pockets or something? I just don't understand how the original fob is too big, I barely even notice it at all.

    I think most of us are in the #3 category. He makes so many different and awesome things. Just a bot surprised he did not somehow add more light to the fob.

    I may have to hold out for V2(+) when he adds some sort of function the original never even thought about. I have no clue what it will be, but I have little doubt he will find something to upgrade it!!

    I hit him up about possible mod to have the dash back lighting be on all the time. Might be just me but, my windows are dark AF an having the back light on w/ DRL would be nice. Don't want to hijack the thread so if anyone has ideas about this we can chat offline.

    I agree with this! I've been wanting a mod for that too. I've got an idea for one work around to have a switch to keep the radio bright (disconnect the instrument illumination wire) since I keep my parking lights and fogs on almost all of the time. I just haven't made the time to make this work yet.

    @mesojdm

    Would ditching the "panic" button help reduce the size? Does anyone ever use that button?

    Huh? Liability for what? Plenty of car alarm remotes don't have that.

    That's like saying removing the cup holders from the truck is a huge liability.

    I don’t think I’ve ever used it for a legitimate reason, but I still like it there. It just looks complete with it there. It wouldn’t stop me from buying tho if it was taken off

    I’d be down for one with bottle opener. As long as it’ll hold up to repeat use ;)
