Deactivate key
In my Cayenne, my wife's key in her purse would activate 'Auxillary' mode after I powered the car off and she stayed in the car or got out after me. This prevented me from locking the car until I went back in and exited 'Auxillary' mode. A helpful forum member let me know that pressing Lock and UnLock at the same time stopped the key from transmitting until a single key was pressed again. It fixed the issue.
The reason for the intro- every time my wife walks into the garage with her purse, my truck activates due to proximity and uses electricity. This could have an impact if when the truck is parked the large lithium battery is mostly discharged and cannot provide support to the starter battery when needed. Basically, I would like to stop even this drain on the batteries by deactivating her key.
Does anyone know of a way to disable a Ford key?

Pop it apart & Remove its battery? She can keep it in a lil bag and just put the battery in when she needs her key.

Dealer could reprogram the Car to use a different key?
In a large parking lot many times I hear another vehicle beep when I lock up my F150.

2 thoughts, don't know what trim you have but mine doesn't react when I get near it so that may be something you can turn off in settings. If you like/want your truck to "wake up" when you get near it then get her a Faraday pouch to slip her fob in while it's in the purse unneeded. I use one to lock my fob in the truck occasionally. Jim
