This conceptual car key fob has been designed by Zander De Beer as an [ergonomic take](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-mouse-concept) on the humble device that's intended to shake up perceptions of how the solution looks, feels and functions. The fob has a wing-like form that's accented by a series of four buttons for locking and unlocking the vehicle, starting or stopping the engine and activating the horn. The device puts a large dial on the top portion in the spotlight that can be twisted to change the temperature inside the vehicle, while a small display on the knob will allow drivers to see the temperature setting.

The conceptual car key fob modernizes a vehicle accessory that is quickly becoming obsolete in the face of smartphone control, but incorporates a [tactile touch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plable-by-kaira-majahan) into the user experience.
