Remote range - are they all this bad?
My remote has a rand of almost a yard, first I thought the battery was on the way out, changed that and no difference. I literally have to stand next vehicle before it will lock or unlock. Are they all this bad or has yet another thing dropped off Shocked

Look on this forum for several threads about modifying the aerial wire. This will greatly improve your range and is very easy to do.
