intelligent key fob range
has anyone noticed decreased range with the car's age? i swear a few months ago i could lock/unlock my car from a 100ft away. nowadays i have to take the key out of my pocket, and press the button within 5-10 feet of the car. the key to chin trick gives me an extra 10 feet maybe, but still not as much as before. i used to be able to lock from upstairs in my house to the garage. now i have to be in the garage!! :confused:
ive bought 2 different pairs of CR2032 batteries from different, local stores (to avoid fake batteries online). the good by date is 2022! no idea why the range is so bad now |
Unless my car alarm is going off, or i need to use the panic button, my key fob stays in my pocket. The 370z locks on its own after 1 min when you unlock it and walk away. so i dont find a need to unlock it from within my house.

I've not locked it in my garage and the next morning it's still unlocked... |
Agree^. I'll double check that, but same here.....
|
or maybe its within distance when i unlock it. I'll unlock my car, wash it, and it will lock on its own every time..

Or are you pressing the button on the door?

I always thought that the slot to place the Key fob in the Z helped it keep its charge and helped with range. I may be mistaken though.

I don't lock my car
|
I'm with the rest of these guys, the car doesn't have an auto lock function. It didn't on my Sport '09 and it doesn't on my S-T-Nav '13.
|
It relocks if I lock and unlock but don't open a door or gate.

and do people not read? the key to the chin trick does work as i said in my original post. problem is, i used to be able to unlock my car from at least a 100ft away or through several walls. now i need to be within 5-10 feet of the damn car and yes, there is an auto-lock functionality. if your car is locked, then you unlock the car, and dont open the door within a certain time, the car will relock itself. however, if you're driving, park, shut the car off, and walk away, it will NOT relock. |
