How to tell keys apart?

tyler9595 · 03-14-2015, 10:01 PM

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments. I'm embarrassed I didn't think about the comfort access...I guess it's an old habit to lock/unlock with the key fob. I'm a little slow sometimes!!

With that said, I like the plastidip suggestion. I might try it.

Won't Plastidip end up getting scratched and scuffed off?

I can't believe it.. That really sucks, how hard would it be to put a small section with M colors on the FOB? ..

You could be right. I have no experience with Plastidip

Yeah over here the Msport key has blue trim.

The other way as mentioned is leather cover key fobs.

That would be nice. My M4 fob is generic...

LOL

That was my thought!

Although, if he DID need to use the fob for anything he can't tell them apart (I like the power gate feature when going to the store).

Yeah, Plastidip will scratch right off rubbing up against the other keys and the ring in his pocket.

I put carbon fiber vinyl on the back of my key fob covering the battery holder section. That way I can see it, and if it's in my pocket with another key feel it.
