So, speaking of fobs. My neighbor down the street recently got a dumpster on wheels (Cybertruck). Yes they are as ugly up close as they appear in photos and from a distance (he even wrapped his black, not a good choice IMO), but that’s not why we’re here.

Saw him outside this morning appearing to try to unlock the thing with his phone, but he was visibly frustrated. Not sure if they come with fobs as well, but at least we don’t have those problems no matter what size fob we have in our pockets.

I see the thread took a turn for the worse, so I'd like to update you on my take and what I did to address the key fob size issue. First, I soaked it overnight in organic vinegar to allow its fibers to soften and relax. Once I noticed the casing was of a playdough consistency, I immediately applied enough kinetic energy until it transformed into a workable mass and squeezed it until it became the size of my liking. I am proud to confirm that the key fob is now half its original size and no longer requires batteries, as it runs on plutonium that was released during the potential energy process. From the legal perspective, I cannot go into the details here, but a more specific formula can be found online simply by searching how to get my Mustang key fob smaller.

Hope that helps... Stay safe, and have a great day!

Maybe if some of yall would quit wearing those tight skinny jeans, you'd have room in yer pocket for the key fob. :wink:
Why have it in pants anyway? Where is your wallet or phone? Key fob belongs to a shielded pouch in some handbag etc. with the rest of those things, or the jacket.

The Lincoln Aviator has that feature too, its only a matter of time before it trickles down in to fords

Ugh. Not a fan of everything being ā€œconnectedā€ like that. Hopefully the Aviator still has a fob in addition to the phone unlock feature?

Can someone explain what is the rationale behind the keyfob being so bulky on the 2023 Mustang Mach 1?

I like my first Mustang but cannot wrap my head around this key...

Is it wierd if the keyfob has traveled further than the car?

I'm betting most of ours fobs have higher mileage than their respective cars

You know how we tend to walk around with our fobs in our pockets after we exit the car? 😃
