If you notice your keys banging into dash while accelerating or braking, I found an easy fix. Purchase a sticky pad by Handstands @ brookstone. Cut pad into small square an place on dash @ impact area. This material is spongy with a tacky non-adhesive backing. Check out http://www.handstands.com for pads or gadget grips(pre-cut squares). |

That only works if you carry the H2 key separate from any other keys you have. While I'm not a key hound (I only have a few other keys on the ring), I like to keep all my keys together...if nothing more than to occasionally give me a sharp jab to the g'nads when I sit down, not

I also have a fix for the remote banging....I superglued the key remote to the steering column and now it doesn't bang anymore....of course I have to leave the truck running constantly, but hey it was worth it!  |

The noise. My keys band the dash incessantly. Being moderately OCD, it drives me nuts. My wife doesn't notice.
Volume control would be an option...when I drive by myself, but if kiddo or wife are in the truck, that's not an option.
The padding on the dash mostly cures the problem. Instead of a loud clack, clack, clack, you get a much quieter thud, thud, thud that has fewer high frequencies to it and is easier for me to tune out.
BTW, it's not just during accel/decel for me. It's any time driving on uneven road, which is pretty much anywhere.

All padding aside, I just resigned myself to live with the jingling noise.  |

It's been a long time since this subject has come up and the fixes are always the same.
Did I read something about a pad?

i found that Motorhead, while not being to everyone's taste, is the best at drowning out all clunks, rattles, squeaks and wind noise on a far more consistent basis. no chance of a quiet ballad coming up and allowing distracting noises to make it to your ear. and it leaves your ears ringing for a while, keeping you sane between tracks
