Hi.

Tried search: for me search seems to be hosed at present as all sorts of unrelated things pop up.

Issue: I need to be right next to the car to get the alarm to arm and disarm now. I used to be able to get it from about 100 feet. Same key. I replaced the battery and nothing changed.

I did have SeriousAutosport upgrade my seats for me (to be posted once I get some pictures in place) to GT3 euro rs seats.....could that have screwed up the alarm antenna????


Thanks guys!

Jeff

You do know there is a TSB: "Insufficient Range of Remote Control" 7/04 9662.

No, thanks. It just started yesterday....was fine....

I'll go check it out. Seems just "weird" that it would drop off all of a sudden......Wross, thanks! I figured it was the key battery....nope..hence the post.
