Honda Accord Key Fob Shield

thingiverse

I have a 2013 Honda Accord plug-in hybrid. One of the features of many Honda automobiles is that you can lower all four windows by clicking the unlock button on the remote and then immediately clicking and holding it. The windows will lower until you let go of the button. This is a really nice feature until it happens by accident because something in your pocket pressed on the button. It is especially unpleasant if this happens while it is raining. While the design is similar to https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2676628 it was designed from scratch using Fusion 360. Some of the differences are that I need to be able to get to the buttons to open the trunk and the charging door, so I designed cut-outs for the lock, trunk, and charging door buttons. The unlock button is covered, but if you need to get to it you can just slide the cover down about 10 mm. I also added a cut-out on the back so you could see the Honda logo and the key fob driver number, and the height is limited to get to the slide to release the door key. When I want to use the window feature I use the key to unlock and unlock-hold. I find that this gives me more control than using the remote when I want to lower the windows a little to allow the car to vent. Update: 29 October 2022 I have redesigned the shield to fit tighter and made the walls thicker to see if this helps keep the shield on the key fob better. The new version is v5.
