How far can your remote control reach your car?
« on: May 09, 2012, 11:25:22 PM »
Need to do some survey :D ...
Dont know if its the battery. Mine is about 10 parked cars away. Unlock strangely about 5 cars. Sometimes have to press a few times then can get it. Changed battery like less than 6 months ago. How long can the battery last?

for my coming to 6 years old latio, i only change remote battery twice, actually, since its keyless, i am not really bothered how far it can reach since i always press the button on the door handle to open the door.

i tried before unlocking from 6th floor.. and it worked..  5 year old car.. bought the car 2nd hand when it was 3 years old, dont know if the battery has been changed before.

sometimes its due to line of sight also, if something blocking then it wont work...

Try not to put together with your mobile.  I hold together with my iPhone, it can't even activate it!
