(T) Remote Control Short Range

Did someone have problems with the remote control, it'seems to work properly only when you are almost inside the car.

Time for new batteries in the remote. 6 months to a year is about all you can expect before you start to get closer and closer to your car to unlock.

I've had the same with both my keys since the car was new but although the book said they should work from nearly 10m fiat didn't wanna know.

It's true the book say that, maybe it's because we can close/open the windows with it, and it should be dangerous to have a long distance remote control.

Did someone have more than 10 meters range ?

Hold it against your head!

It actually works

yea point the infra red end towards your head and stair hard at the vehicle, then press the button, works on fords and some peugoets, should work on other cars as well i guess -

mine works about 25 meters away!! i sat on my key 2 months ago and it unlocked the sky sunroof and windows and i was in my room upstairs and at the back of the house!!! i can also activate and open the roof when i am in the office at work and the car is in the car park!! had the key for 7 months now!! and the car is an 03

My scorpion alarm fob opened my car from about 25-30metres when held agianst the head and about 5metres when not.

Strange but true!

Thank you guys,

Maybe I have a problem with the receptor. Did someone knows where it is located ?

I also have a problem with my connect nav+, the radio have a bad reception.

remote control short range + radio bad reception .....

on the front of the car, right under the window in the centre of the window!!! its like a little cap!! under that i think is the receptor!!!

well it would be bad reception if you are trying radio 1 lol, its a long way from portugal!

No, it's not - that's part of the climate control system.

The Stilo remote control is radio, not infra-red.
