What one can do with idle hands...

Yup, what can one do with one's idle hands?
And yup, one would be pretty surprised...because I was!!

As an example, this was what happened to my idle hands....
They did these...

Yup, it has been found that our car key cum alarm remote control, has an inherent problem. The alarm has been accidentally triggered off & on! The car has also been locked & unlocked without any intentions whatsoever!
And yup, that's a real nuisance, right? Kinda embarassing, too!

So, when this was voiced in the Saga car forum, it triggered the need to overcome this built-in nuisance in the simplest way possible...

Well, above pics tell of 2 attempts. The first mod was using the plastic packing of an old USB flash drive.

And the final pic shows a much simpler & just as effective mod...using a cut & punched 2.5mm thick piece of Insuflex (aircon) material. This was much easier to make considering that the material is soft and comes ready with a self-adhesive side...just stick it on!!

Looks not too bad, right?

Sincerely hoping now for no more of those so-called "accidental" mis-presses?

What can your idle hands do...?
