Default Fob problem

I have been known to set off the panic button on my fob by accedent on more than one occasion, too much crap in my pockets ect. when I do this the only way to stop it is to start the car, when the manual says just hit any button on the fob. any thoughts?

I dont know where you get them but one of my fobs has a rubber cover with small openings for the buttons. Makes it harder for that kind of thing to happen.Might be something you can get from the dealer but not sure.

I've seen the fob covers advertised as 'fob jackets' in some car car mags. Try a Search, they're not very expensive.

You should be able to silence the alarm by pushing the alarm button on the fob again.

You can get those covers on ebay or Amazon.
