Review on Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob - 4 Button by Phillip Johnson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works great - within 2ft of a truck door :(

Read all the way through. The first paragraph doesn't reflect reality but it might help those having trouble. I programmed the key fob. Confirmed it worked so far, I was in the truck, went to my house and it wasn't working, I thought maybe I didn't "finish" the programming properly, so I did it again, none Joy I replaced the battery and reprogrammed again Joy Works if you are within 2ft of the truck Is the antenna broken I have a lemon Curious minds want to know Well that sucks :) On Egg appeared on the face. After programming the remote control, the range was in the basement. But just like the range on the original remote. Even after fresh batteries. Maybe it wasn't the remote! Googling I found a thread on the Chevy Avalanche Board about this guy who was also having trouble with the remote. Discussions back and forth pointed to a number of third-party cables for off-road lights and whatnot. I don't have such a thing, but I have a Nulaxy KM29 bluetooth adapter that plugs into the "cigarette lighter". I shrugged. This pup came out and now both the original remote and this one have reasonable range. I'm increasing my rating to 5. This remote does exactly what I need it to do.

Pros
  • Anti Theft
Cons
  • I'll add later
