Ordered the alcantara one discussed above and it's really ice. only downside is it doesn't seem possible to hang any other keys off it once it's in it's "pocket".

What's the reception like with the CF cover? CF being conductive does this act like a faraday cage blocking or diminishing signal?

This one looks great too on Etsy and I just ordered it https://i.etsystatic.com/25660186/r/...00349_h064.jpg Last edited by climbaz; 04-21-2021 at 06:35 PM.. Reason: picture update |

I got one that allows for easy removal of the inner key without the need to disassemble the case.

In the market for a key fob cover now after a valet dropped the key on the floor and gave it a few dent marks. I admit the key itself without a key ring is a bit heavy and easy to slip out of the hand.
Anyone used the OEM cover? Vehicle's interior is in Vernasca "coffee", but the G05 accessories list suggests this one in "Mocca" as a compatible accessory. It's probably compatible in terms of key size, but what about the colour? Does anyone know? Part # 82-29-2-408-819 https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...ha-82292408819 Otherwise, I think a black one (82 29 2 344 033) would be more neutral than a brown of a different hue. |

I did have a few instances where auto-unlock didn't work with the case on, but I couldn't swear the case was the reason. If you do want to manually unlock with the key though, it's fiddly with that particular case as you need to swing the key out. It does look good though! |

it has served me well and fits my particular needs. while bulkier than a naked fob, it has TPU impact protection and still fits in my pants front coin pocket. I can press the buttons without taking it out of my pocket. I can remove the internal key without taking off the case. faux carbon fiber looks ok but doesn't impede signal range. it really depends on how you store and plan to use it, so it might take a couple trial and errors. all the cases will add bulk to the original key fob though there are slim ones but those won't protect from impacts, just surface scratches. real carbon fiber ones are slim but may affect signal range. some require hardware to assemble onto the fob. many don't allow access to the internal key without having to completely remove the case or cover. |

I also got the M Performance one so I'll see if i want to change after a while - it's currently holding my spare key. I did notice this morning that the car didn't auto lock as I walked away so maybe it is blocking it but I'm not sure. The auto lock/unlock seems a bit inconsistent - sometimes works from far away and sometimes I can walk right up to the car and almost grab the handle before it works. Also seems to be affected by the approach direction. It is obviously bulkier than some of the other covers shown here but I do like the fact it covers the buttons from accidental pressing. I've had times in the past with previous keys that have opened the boot because of something else in the pocket pressing the key - not something you want in a tight parking spot |

are you sure that there are no other electronic devices in the same pocket as your key fob? that could cause interference.
also, the vehicle 'hibernates' if you havent driven it in a couple of days and the proximity sensors stop working if you leave it alone for that long... |

I've been using this one for a couple months. Working well. Wish it had slightly less bulk.

Which cover do you guys use for the display key?
I want something that doesn't block the signal and when dropped does protect 1K € key enough |
