Coin cubby -> keyfob cubby

[NyackRob79]

Is there an OEM or aftermarket part that turns the coin cubby (trailer backup control on HD tow pkg) into something more useful like a keyfob cubby? Not sure about others here but none of the local towns use coins anymore in their parking meters so this prime dashboard real estate is rather wasted.

You have a fob cubby right underneath the coin holder....don't you?

In any case, try some of these threads:

I understand something more useful would be nice. My fob stays in my pocket unless I want to get out and not wake a kid with the moronic double honk bs. Why do you need to lay it someplace?

I installed the trailer brake controller so there goes the usual cubby. No HD tow package here. If I leave it in my pockets is usually falls out and gets stuck between the seats.

You can disable the double honk using Forscan, which is what I did. It was actually the main reason for investigating forscan.

Same here, we go to the lake and I leave the truck running for the A/C. Get out to fuel the boat and it honks. Wife decided she needs a drink, gets out and it honks. Kids decide they want something, they get out and it honks. So worth the dongle and Forscan to be rid of it. Plus Bambi Mode and temp read out are nice as well.
