Key fob customizations - colors and screwdriver

[The Weatherman]

I think the sole purpose of the fob is to lock/unlock the doors/rear window and lock/unlock the transmission. The screw driver is a little bit ridiculous…if you need to change out a panel, use a real tool.

Remote Start on an EV is basically a way to turn on the HVAC before leaving.

The drive function requires the key or Phone in cars with PAAK to be in the vehicle before you can move the gearshift.

So called Minnesota winter, desert summer, and pet modes.

I'd choose a Torx because not everyone carries around a Torx screwdriver.

But how much Torque could you actually use (seeing how you are using your fob)? Semms like a good way to break a fob

I see five buttons on that fob. How many do you see? You identified three functions. Also, which button locks the transmission and why would anyone ever do that, from a fob no less?

Lock, unlock, Frunk open, remote start, hold (panic-horn)
EV. No transmission to lock.

Hoping Slate makes security fasteners keyed to VIN, so some schmoe just can't whip out his electric driver and walk away with your quarterpanel. 🤣🤣🤣

Not completely sure, but in some of the media I was able to view close up, it does appear that the body panel hardware does indeed have security hardware. Kind of a torx hex but with the pin in the center.

I recall growing up in Queens NY where you would park near a subway station and your car would be “stripped.” This adds a whole new dimension to that situation.

Those are available at Harbor Freight. So they are NOT security heads.

I was thinking the same thing. Not very well thought out unless it's part of a plan to sell replacement key fobs. I'll stick with my Torx screwdriver set.

I can also see a lot of theft happening with your custom headlight covers and such.

I see an opportunity to produce after market Torx screw replacements with a unique keyed screw head that requires a unique patterned driver head. I should contact Fastenall
