I'm not sure if this is just me, but my car remote is super weak

I literally have to stand as close as 5 feet away for my doors to unlock or to pop my trunk. I tried replacing the battery in the remote, but its still weak. Is there a way to fix this? Or is this how all TL's are? I have an 05' by the way.

 

my remotes work over 30 feet away! do you have metallic tint on your car?

 

speaking of tint, does my 5% tint block radio/xm/navigation signals at all? everything works fine but jw if its theoretically blocking it.

 

Mine is the same way too

Figured the battery must be low, but I haven't gone through the trouble of changing it...dont mind waving my arms around like an idiot to unlock the car :P

 

You have to open your mouth and place the remote under your chin and it will increase your range!
There was a thread on this a while back.

 

sorry, didnt see the thread from a while back. not trying to gravedig either, unless you wanna help me out

my car doesnt have any tint on it at all, no remedies?

 

Sorry. It was a useless post for you.
Anyway, you might try another battery. That particular size can sit on the shelves for while so make sure it is a new set.
You could switch to the other fob to see if it is any better.
Another option is the switchblade key from Heeltoe.com.


EDIT: HA! Found the thread!
