After setting off my alarm twice in 2 weeks, I did a search on this topic.

The scotch tape approach worked perfectly. The only problem on my 09 FOB was getting it open. The manual refers to a slot. Unfortunately, I didn't see any "slot".

I therefore pulled out the embedded key and pried open the casing from the inside. That worked. A small piece of scotch tape on the contact followed by a quick reassembly of the case and I was all set.

Good luck.

[QUOTE=Vet;1567839344]No need to disable the panic button.

Just get a "FOB Jacket". Check out below link for details.

These are for the older FOBs, haven't seen any for the newer ones out there. My Caddy has one exactly like the newer Vette ones and I was always setting the alarm off so I took an old cell phone cover and made a FOB cover for it.

I have never had this issue but then again I don't put anything else in my pocket with the fob.
