Must be mostly a lariat thing? All the pictures and covers I see are for passive entry keys not the XL/XLT flip keys. Only flip key I saw was the one they destroyed by removing the button. I set mine off once before I changed it to double press in Forscan, hasn't happened since.

I'm assuming I need a scan tool for this? Thanks for the tip; that damned panic button is driving me crazy.

Yup, ODB2 reader and a Windows laptop.

I got this one for mine. I tried carrying the key in my pocket, because it's small enough, but I set off the Panic alarm three times on the first day, and was starting to see scratches on the plastic body from all the other crap in my pocket. Started wearing a belt clip again, just for the key fob, but the key blade still kept flipping out unintentionally. So I started looking for a decent cover. This is TPU, and it adds a little thickness around the flip button so the unintentional key deployment rarely happens any more.

BONUS: the color matches the truck (almost). LOL. SO if you have a Blue truck...
The included clip is nice, and seems sturdy enough, but I already have a better one, so...
