Where do place your key while driving?

I have always had a rule...never set my key down inside the vehicle. The only 1 time in over 40 years my key got locked in is when it literally fell out of my pocket (or maybe hand, I do not recall) when I got out. In the old days I also had a rule to always use the key to lock the door--then it is truly impossible to lock the key inside. Now with electronic, and even physical keyless, systems that has changed a bit. However, I still never set it inside the vehicle. I put it in my pocket; given the somewhat curved shape I have not had a problem. You could tape it to your forehead if the pocket is too annoying ;-).

Agreed about the panic button. I have never seen much of a point to them, and too easy to hit unintentionally. Even worse with remote start (although at least with that you have to hold it for a couple seconds). I may make a cover for the fob to either fully cover said buttons or at least make them inset/much smaller opening.

That credit card sized option is interesting, but way to expensive for my tastes for what it does.

I'm interested to see if those key cards become available for us.

I'm confused. If you can't/won't carry the FOB in your pocket, what do you do with it when you go into a restaurant or doctor's appointment or whatever? Lanyard?

Do you have the part # for the key card by chance?

Sorry but in your pocket. I have been driving semi for 30 years now and I used to swap keys but in the semi I always used to leave the ignition key there then use a separate key to lock and unlock. The last 8 years I drive local and when in my semi my pickup keys are always in my pocket. You get used to it.

In my pocket, because I don't have a million things on my key ring and I don't wear super tight pants. Actually, the fob is the ONLY thing on my key ring.

Typically I either put it in the cup holder, or if I have drinks there, I put it beside the wireless charger.

It is possible to disable the Panic Button on the key fob using Carista.

Yes

So.. I'm wondering.. Where is everyone putting the keys when you get to drive?
My transition from the keys being inserted into the ignition to push button start in 2021 drove me crazy for a bit. I ended up getting a black metal command hook that attached just to the right of the steering column. So, it felt very normal to hang the key ring on there after hitting the start button.
Now, the start button is higher. I have a trailer brake in the spot where I would have put the hook. Just wondering where you all are putting your keys when you jump in for a drive.

I know.. I know... "Your pocket" is going to be the answer, but keeping the keys in pocket isn't really comfortable. The cup holder also isn't convenient if you have drinks in there.

Just curious if anyone has gotten creative with this. I'm still trying to find a comfortable solutions to this.

With the angled phone charger, there is not a lot of great space. I bought this tray for the dashboard on the Amazon and it seems to solve my storage problem.
