Is anyone else a little let down by the "anemic" feel of the key fob?

Actually with the keyless start, the auto door unlock, the ability to lock the door with the outside button and the remote start android app I never take it out of my pocket. I would prefer it to be even smaller than it is due to the above mentioned items.
I agree. I have my entire house, garage and shed keyed alike. So I carry one key and the fob. Less is better.

well, how do you lock the glove box?
I'm curious. Do many people lock their glove boxes. I never have, just because I never thought about it. Maybe I should, since in the hot weather I usually leave my windows open.well, how do you lock the glove box?

Yes, I can top that. I have my entire house, garage, shop and shed on combination dead bolts. One fob, no keys; even less is even mo' better.I agree. I have my entire house, garage and shed keyed alike. So I carry one key and the fob. Less is better.

Seems fine for me also.
Is this thread for real? Now we are complaining about the "feel" of the key fob? Ugh. Lol
This is sort of like all the complaining that happened when the iphone 5 was released. "It's too light. It makes it feel cheap."
Okay...put a solid chunk of iron in there. It'll feel heavy, substantial, and expensive. It'll still be cheap...but you'll think it's expensive!
On a more serious practical note...it's light for a reason. MOST people don't like carrying around heavy objects in their pockets or on keychains.
Funny how people associate heft with expensive feel when in a lot of cases it's more expensive to make things lighter.

Also, if you own multiple vehicles, especially classic "keyed" ones, the extra hanging weight is hard on the ignition.
The new fob is fine. I don't even notice it. It sits in my jacket pocket. I've got bigger beefs about my SRT like poor fitting Body Moldings and Valences that are spotted with rust color.
I'm more of a FUNCTION over FORM kind of guy.
So I'm okay with how it Feels, since it Functions so well. It has excellent range and does what I feel it should for a vehicle fob.
Can you lock the glovebox? Never looked at my 14" but my 11" did not.
