Attaching the Car key to other keys

[Beachbum]

What are people using to attach the car key to other keys?
The usual metal ring seems not to fit the Lotus car key, I have tried both large and small rings, with no luck
Wondered if others have had a similar issue and tried other successful options

Interested to hear what they may be.

I bought a BanC key fob pouch - it’s one of the sponsors of these forums

I use one of these but I don't attach anything to it, it's just to protect the key.

@Bancho Can you still buy them on their own and not in a presentation box?

I'm using a lanyard looped through the key.

But I only have 1 other thing attached to my key.

Anyone aware of an alternative Key, that works with the Emira?
I am working on the assumption, that other keys, that have a useable attachment point, can be programmed to work with the Emira security system, just wondered if anyone knew of any

Can't really help you with that, although I see what you're trying to accomplish there. I'd like to have that alternative also, if indeed there's one available.
The massive size of the Emira FOB has always bothered me, and the silly string thing to attach key rings also seems inappropriate. I would much prefer a slimmer and tasteful design like my 911 FOB, but absent that option, I ultimately went with this (pictured) case was the slimmest that I could find with an integrated quick release key ring. It's sold on AliExpress, it's cheap comes in several colors and has stood up really well so far. Initially, I bought the Ban C leather case, it's really nicely made and all, but because it makes the FOB even more bulky, I put it on my spare FOB and it has been tucked away in a drawer ever since.

You can purchase rings small enough to attach. I got mine from Amazon. Hope this helps.

Do you have a link to the ones you got? Looking at Amazon, the variations are immense.

I bought a pack with more rings than a Tolkien epic and none of them fitted.

I used two 8mm split rings which you can get from Amazon/elsewhere - hope this helps. A bit fiddly to get one attached to the key fob but it is possible.

Take a look at my setup.

I bought a Lotus Leather key ring when I went to England and did the factory tour. It came with a small cord attachment that's perfect for the Emira's key. Here is the direct link to the one I bought (mine is green though)

I've still got a few of these if you are interested:

Keyrings for the Emira fob

As mentioned in my post on another thread, I have purchased one of these for my Emira keyfob so that I can attach my glasses: It works perfectly and seems reasonably well made so it does the job well. However, I had to purchase a pack of them, so if anyone just wants one then I'm happy to...

What is that small remote?

What is that small remote?

The Tracker fob

The Tracker fob

I suspected so, but found it odd because patrickramdial appears to be located in Miami (as I am), and isn't the tracker a UK thing only?

Hey! So yeah im from Miami and my tracker is working perfectly fine. The dealership set it up for me the day before I arrived and when we turned the car on to go over everything in the parking lot, I got an email confirming that car was successfully registered.

Where in Miami are you from? I've seen a few around and still have no clue who they belong to!

Cool. I was under the impression that the system only worked in the UK. I'm in Coral Gables, very close to UM.
