I found it here. Cheap, easy to install, looks nice. Remote works just fine, and now it attaches to my keychain. (Shown ring not included.)

(That little white speck on top is just a reflection of overhead lighting.)

Does the key fob work better than the phone key? Thanks

It might be more reliable, but I also have my phone set up as a key, so it'd be hard to tell.

It's certainly more convenient for making the car beep so that you can find it. Likewise, for popping the frunk. For the trunk, it's cool that it opens and closes, but I can do that just fine by pressing the button.

So, you can open the trunk with this on the fob? Where do you press to do that?

 

[JACMS3]

is it a lot bigger than the fob?
I bought 1 on Amazon. It made it way bigger.
I did not like.

 

[HeyEph]

Does the fob allow you to open the trunk? Or, is it just for the locks?

 

[JACMS3]

the fob is inside the holder.

So use it the same way.

 

[HeyEph]

Still have the same question. Can you open the trunk with the fob?

You are a pretty smart guy, so I guess you know that the phone app will also do those things?

Yes, both the fob and the phone app can pop the trunk and so on. The fob is more convenient for some of these things, and it's an extra proximity key for the door. If your phone is working well as a proximity key, then you don't need the fob, but it's still nice.

How do you use the fob to open the trunk? Also, does that feature still work with this cover on it?

Maybe you know most of this, but my fob (for an MX) has 5 buttons on it. Well, not actually buttons. Let's call them pressure sensitive areas. One in front, one in back, one on each side, and in the middle. I use it on the MX (don't own a Y) which opens the frunk, trunk, "chicken wing" doors, and lock / unlock (or open self presently doors before getting to the car). So far, all of the fob holders I have seen will allow pressing of all the buttons. I don't own a fob for the M3, so don't know what they are like. I use the phone.

Yes, the cover has no impact on using the fob. It's thin and flexible, so it doesn't get in the way of applying pressure.

The M3/MY fob is similar. It has three pressure-sensitive areas: front, back, top. There's details in the MY manual.
