CRAPPY key
Does anyone else suffer from the stock remote key? I can only lock/unlock my car from 4ft away. and the trunk button doesn't open alot of the times i press it.
anyone else? i did a search and typed in "oem key" and "key sucks" and nothing came up thanks, have a good one |
tried replacing the battery? could just be weak
|
No complaints from me. Always able to open trunk.
|
A year later and still at least a hundred yards line-of-sight.
Do you have problems way out in the burbs, or is this in the middle of the city. An electronically noisy environment will have a drastic effect on range. |
I can lock/unlock my car at least 100 meters away. I can see my car blink.
|
Actually this is one of the coolest keys I've had and it works just fine for me. Like suggested maybe you should check your battery.

Try using your head as an antenna:
https://www.google.com/search?q=hold...utf-8&oe=utf-8 or check the battery... I'm still using the original battery in my remote for my acura w/ 180K miles and 12 years on it :iono: |

As for my Scion key, zero complaints on range from me. Works flawlessly with good range in my experience. |
I haven't had the FR-S for over a week, so my experience is limited. But I can say right off the bat that my (5yr old) Camaro key is much more responsive from a distance. With the Scion key, I've actually hit the door lock multiple times because it didn't seem to activate right away. It may just have a slight delay that I'm not used to.

What's a "key"?

My only complaint is that it is one ugly ass keyfob in comparison to the 2015 BRZ keyfob. Cmon Toyota/Scion you could've at least put some effort into it. Lol.
|
On the two FRS I've had, they each had slightly different range. But overall pretty good.
