My car slightly more than a year old and did not encounter this problem. I can still unlock/lock my car from 11th storey of my HDB flat (line of sight between Ikey and car).

Have you noticed a "shortening of distance" to lock/unlooad when using your IKey? If yes, may consider a battery change on Ikey. Else, complain to TCM to get the components checked.

Hi,

Happens to me when I put my handphone in the same pocket as my iKey.
It was worse with a pager (back 3 years ago).

Somehow the radio frequency might be interfering with the iKey.

Me too... when the 2 things are put together, i cant open my car door!!

I read it in the manual that says that radio frequency from phones can interfere with the radio frequency of th i-key. so i put them in separate pockets. :-)

RFID Frequencies from the Esso and Mobil petrol kiosk is also causing lots of jamming to our I-key.

Yes, mindman. There is no obstruction (ie clear line of sight).

cheers,

yeah the service adviser says certain models of mobile fone can cause interference to our I-key if put inside the same pocket or handbag.

Wah 11th storey so power ah?! wat brand of batt u use for ur I-key siah?

my car is only 10 day old  . guess alot of you had encounter this problem. is it possible that stuff like a plastic cover will block the ikey operation 

[hammer99]

Most likely your IKEY battery is weak. Well I guess your 10 days old car is using an old battery; or your stock IKEY is in the warehse a long time.

Does the ikey console light blink when you just start your engine? Mine flashes and I thought the ikey is faulty but actually it's low batt warning signal.

i dun think a plastic cover will affect. I put my i-key in the leather pouch provided by tan cheong since day 1. Some times the i-key is placed in my bag (so extra layers of fabric) but there is no issue with the usage

hi guys, drive my car for 1 month and sometime still face this problem. However i already get use to it. went to my first servicing and told them about this thing. they checked and said that my i key system was ok. i wonder how they checked at the first place?

[Gone with the wind]

I faced the same problems only recently.  It took me 2 to 3 attempt to lock and unlock the car.  I measured the Ikey battery, the battery still had more than 3 volt in there.  I proceed to change to new battery, the problems did not go away.  My latio is only 6 month old.

I am going to contact TCM ask them to fix the problems.

No wonder I have problem locking my car at Esso.  Have to press door button at least 2 times.

[moshi2008]

had told them about this problem during my first servicing. they told me that they will check but in the end no faulf found. i really wonder how they check our i key system
