Are you referring to the backup slot? If yes this is where you put your fob with a dead battery to start your car. This is not a place to keep your fob during car operation. Also you should have protective covers for the cup holders.
OK, just wanted to be sure you weren’t using the backup slot. I have my fob on a D ring attached to my pants.
He said he uses the spot in the cup holders, where the two spring-loaded "wings" are (the ones that are there to keep smaller cans in place, but can be pushed away by larger coffee cups), to store the key fob. Instead of pocket/sunglasses holder/tray under infotainment/center console/wherever.
That still makes no sense. Like the fob is held in place by the "wings"?
Yes, I guess. He was just trying to share that somehow he found out that the key fob doesn't rattle around when driving and slides neatly in-between them, where the spring of it is strong enough to hold the fob up? I dunno man, try it out in your Mustang and see if you like it.
@OP - I assume that's what you meant (in my pic below)?
There, took the pic for you, you're welcome.
Gotta say, I’ve owned a S550 since 2015 and never noticed this. Good find, thanks for posting.
I have a bad habit of walking away from the car with the fob in my pocket and getting the annoying chirp-chirp of the horn (I don't have Forscan), so I just take it out. The fob. I take the fob out.
Then the question becomes what's the point ? Taken to the extreme, might as well hand the FOB off. To the first person that comes along .
