Looking for a minimalist KEY FOB? We may be in luck.

Late to the party but I'm working on something.

Two years later... And still following!

I’d love one with no buttons and small as possible. I have keyless entry and start and any time I’m doing remote start I use my phone.

Gates innovation has moved on. I was working closely with their team to develop a fob, but the guy just kept going silent. Eventually he sent me back my original fob, no guts, no progress, and no further communication.

If you guys are still interested in a MINIMALIST key fob, please let me know. I've been using and testing my own 3D printed design for the last year or so and currently making the last tweaks to the casing. It's just about ready to roll out in the next few weeks once I dial in the tolerances and order some more chips. The orange (to match my Badlands) was tossed around and withstood the test of time.

Can you show a comparison to the OEM fob?

 

[GianBronco]

I would say it’s probably about 1/3-1/2 of the original

Very nice!! A machined alloy or TI one would capture my funds.​

I’d be interested. Even more interested if you want to share the STL.

I agree that would be a very nice finish- look and feel, however, a metal enclosure would essentially act as a farady cage blocking any radio frequencies emitted from the key. I am still planning on refining this design and making the product available for purchase if others are interested.

I appreciate your interest. I spent quite some time designing this and dialing my print settings for this specifically, so I most likely won’t be sharing the file. I’ve been exploited before because of my generosity so this time around it will be available on an Etsy page.

Totally understandable. Reach out once it’s ready for sale and I think I’ll purchase.

I am ready to buy even the unrefined version for a reasonable price. Hoping to save some bucks with the STL

And chance in a 3 button version for us manual transmission guys?

Also interested. Especially if there is a 3 button version for the manual.
