Increase Key Fob Distance/Range When Opening/Closing Hardtop F33

anthonyallergy · 04-03-2018, 04:31 PM

You can hold the key fob lock button to put the top up and the unlock button to put the top down but you have to be within 2-3 feet of the car for the function to work. If you step away, it stops.

Anyone have any ideas on how to increase the range? It's annoying having to wait next to the car to put the top up.

Same with putting it down. I'd like to be able to start the process while I'm walking to the car instead of standing next to it.

Cheers.

Hold it to your chin. Sounds dumb but it makes your body part of the antenna and increases the range
