Hi all,
I think the FOB is a bit plastic and overall looks a bit cheap. Does anyknow know if there's an alternative out there? I saw one thread on a case for the FOB (http://www.hdforums.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=71&forumid=23&postid=403074&view=topic) but wanted to know if there was an alternative to the plast anyone has seen? Jye
Yep agree, it's a bit shitty, but mine lives in my jacket ,so it doesn't bother me too much , also easy to find in the key draw , just look for the biggest piece of plastic and presto got me keys ,but I agree the design could have been a bit better
I agree the design is hopless, I mean it's not even that it's plastic, you can get a remote for your garage door smaller than it these days.
It's plastic for a reason - its a RF transmitter - if you seal it in metal it's not going to work - it can't transmit any signal out to the Security Module. Try putting your mobile phone in a metal container and see if works!!!! Same principle........ signal is shielded.
I would consider the the fact that being in plastic it is weather proof - that's dust and moisture proof. I wouldn't say it is water proof - it may gain water if left in the rain etc but a brief shower or accidental immersion should be ok! Think along the lines of weather proof, vibration resistance (like the battery popping out of its cradle due to a knock or jarring etc - Believe it or not - but there has been a lot of engineering put into producing a fob - like ruggedness, durability, weather proofing, reliability, signal strength & integrity etc - I don't think a leather pouch will cut it!!!!
I just put mine on a snap clip and hang it on my belt - if I don't have my pants on, then I am not ready to ride or her old man is chasing me I don't have time to manually put in the TSSM code - just run like hell .
My fob is superglued to my right testicle.
They're bigger than mine!
You have a gentle touch there Underground.
