Stupid Q really, but wondered where people store their keys whilst driving?
Obvious place is the cup holder(s), but when you have coffee/tea, that is possibly no longer an option
Even my bunch of keys, with just Car key, Garage opener, Scorpion Fob, front door key is enough to get in the way

Suggestions/ideas on a post card
 
I also keep mine in my pocket, particularly jacket or button-up shirt pocket. Sometimes I get lazy and just have it in the passenger's seat when I'm driving alone, but I'm making a conscious effort to stop doing that. A couple of times, it's been heavy enough to set off the passenger's side seatbelt warning 😅
 
Like others, I just use my pocket. Snooping around Amazon.ca I came up with this:

1. https://www.amazon.ca/organizer-das...2&sprefix=vehicle+key+holder+,aps,132&sr=8-49

Not for me, since I'd not want to stick something onto my dash.

2. https://www.amazon.ca/Accmor-Sunglasses-Eyeglasses-Protective-Accessories/dp/B08ZRTCTMT/ref=sr_1_5?crid=QFGNJSZ021AF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PvmjbKXuxcZ3lRwJK3EgRjxscJ9PwUpq-d9FYrl2y5xgr8ixyfRj9IXwacr1pioSqJqwJTpM3vWZm9qebmC5la5vP2pUmrJHXND3cq7RBQi3KX4KS_vVNZYAt01tsrf-UolomOmwyIBrLnAk3bCP7uNiiUdZ2ydttexqXKro0sw0HN0rZ63rsgblQKebh5TPaBNvQZVZr2ME-o0W_E97NCXy9vNj3T5op5DL8QulLX9ZcxXU5Nf0phNWnm25ICp8zmCrdWq3CGCQOH9mC50_18hK6tQH8mX33sWFk4b7n3z-SJgBRDxxMVTo3xMfMczUIUxHCOgxynYm0qGwMYiHnCJUS5BO9-wM7UXaN9KI1dAWvRsHTnOQsTdjXpqSMYpRxXCtCyIwWbFzmLJ97TxWJQWErAoE4cGVeQ5UvXLzXP02hANjTKZSotMFh9S2HrY-.WCOj3bczpOT6-WQxKroNDb6pK5aYgaG2MHAAhGILbq8&dib_tag=se&keywords=vehicle+sunglasses+holder&qid=1742235094&sprefix=vehicle+sunglasses+holder,aps,137&sr=8-5&th=1

I actually bought this and clip it onto the side door pocket on the driver side, so I can one-handed take glasses in/out of it. I slide it forward when using it, then slide it back and out of the way. There'd be lots of room for a key fob (but likely not the fob and glasses), if you're looking for an additional storage option. You may however forget your keys inside it, when exiting. Let us know if you come up with something else and good luck!
 
OK, most use the pocket, but currently my bunch of keys are too big to be in the pocket comfortably. Trying to reduce it, by leaving a Garage door opener fob in the car and another by the front door and not using the Scorpion fob and using the phone(although I have heard there are issues with the phone being used as the fob).
As to connecting the Emira fob to other keys. I have managed to use Wire Rope to form an eyelet, so in theory can now attach other keys to it, however its not very neat. Mr.Suntorytime's enhancement looks to be a neater solution and hopefully going to get those on my next trip to the US. Looks like he might be considering a solution to this concern to
@mr.suntorytime If you come up with something let me know.
@netsinah Yeah, I'm with you on that "sticking things to dash" idea. The sunglasses pouch would work, if I wasnt 6' 4" and used the upper part of the windscreen a lot more than most.
 
Also pocket. No other keys attached so it’s easy.

Occasionally, though, in the cup holder, because I find the cup holders are useless for anything else.

If you put a cup in them it gets in the way of changing gears which is annoying.
