Review on πŸ”‘ Efficient Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob - 4 Button (Enhanced Rear 2X Functionality) by William Hunter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

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

Read to the end First paragraph doesn't reflect reality but may help those who are struggling. I programmed the key fob .Confirmed It works so far that I was in the truck Started running towards the house and it didn't work I thought maybe I didn't 'finish' the programming properly so I did it again . No joy. I replaced the battery and reprogrammed it. Still not in joy. Works if you are within 2ft of the truck. Is the antenna broken? I have a lemon? Curious minds want to know. Well, this sucks :) I don't usually review, but I did. This time I got a ball on my face. After programming the remote, the range sucks. 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
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Not the best
