A vehicle keyfob locator system includes a keyfob locator control panel, a display, a plurality of keyfob locator antennas and a controller. The keyfob locator control panel and the display are located within a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The plurality of keyfob locator antennas are installed at predetermined positions of a vehicle body structure of the vehicle. The controller is operably connected to the keyfob locator control panel and each of the keyfob locator antennas. The controller is configured to operate the keyfob locator antennas and determine a location of a keyfob within the vehicle body structure in response to activation of the keyfob locator control panel and further configured to display an approximate location of the keyfob on the display in response to determining the location of the keyfob within the vehicle body structure.
