Where do you put your keys?

[Deadman]

I wish it still had an ignition switch for a key, so I would remember to let the stupid key in it when I park it in the garage. Otherwise I take the key in the house because I forget its in my pocket and then when my wife goes to use it or someone else at my work, then they have no key. Often times my employees forget and take the keys home with them because they are in their pockets and then the next person comes to work and is screwed unless, so we now have a rack of spare keys in the garage so everyone has a backup.

Cup holder every time.

Doesn't it become a flotation device too?

On long drives I put them in the tray that runs along the bottom side of the console. Keys and wallet fit perfectly there. Phone goes on the wireless charger.

Most of the time in my 5th wheel pocket on my jeans. Is that what that little pocket is called? If I do decide to leave it in the vehicle there is a space/tray behind the drivers door handle/opener (inside obviously) that works well.

It's actually called a "watch pocket." Originally designed to hold a pocket watch.

On a keychain and in my front right pants pocket - where they have been since my first car. The only downside to these FOBS is that if you keep other items in that same pocket, you occasionally set off the panic alarm. I think they should make those a 2 button press, in sequence, to activate.

"It won’t let you lock it with the handle touch pad if not outside the vehicle."

Don't know if that is true with the 4th Gen but with my 2017 the fob can be locked inside the vehicle. To unlock press the last 2 buttons on the door.

I never carry any keys.

You're correct. On the 4th gen, you can do the same - leave the key fob in the vehicle and press / hold the last two numbers on the keypad to lock the vehicle anyway. It will lock up and won't unlock without a second fob or you can enter the unlock code into the keypad.

Fits perfectly in my pocket, where I've kept keys since I started driving

I would be stressed out not having my keys in my front right pocket. The same place I've kept them since I started driving.

In my pocket, I don't want to accidentally leave in the SUV so someone can just steal the whole rig.

Normally, I just throw mine in the floorboard and use the pad on the door.

Same place I keep my phone and wallet.

My pants pocket.

Any other method is a recipe for “hey, where the hell are/is my keys/phone/wallet?!”

I agree, until I was hanged this cinder block key that is ridiculous in size.

Those of you who don’t keep the fob in a pocket, how tight are your pants? Yes, I wish it were smaller but I don’t feel any discomfort keeping it in my pocket. I also don’t have any keys attached to mine..... so do you also have a bunch of keys on a key ring along with the fob? I can see how that would become a burden pretty quick.

I have two keys attached to my fob. They stay in my front or rear pocket when I drive.

I did downsize my keys from about 6-7 to just the 2 plus key fob.

I'm still getting used to the less open storage from my Pilot, but I need to figure out a storage system for the center console. That thing is huge. My dog can just about fit in it.

I opted for the console security safe to be installed in the center console. I love it. I can slip the iPads in there easily along with my 'protection' and even the key fob! No worries!

Most of todays modern dress pants are getting made for skinny legged Charlie Brown bodied millennials and that leaves us little to pick from and everything is going to this stretch material, so its almost like wearing spandex. I hate it, but there's not much to pick from unless you go to an old man store or something. It leaves the upper legs very snug and thats right where the cinder block key needs to go in your pocket. Pants are almost as annoying as the key.

It only took 37 posts to bash a millennial...excellent job, group!

I have nothing attached to my fob. When I do have to carry it, it fits very well in whatever pants I'm wearing. But I do agree it is huge.
