Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I have changed the battery to no avail but realise that the range hasn't been great since getting the car last year.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Over the past few days the remote zapper seems to have a reduced range. I have changed the battery to no avail but realise that the range hasn't been great since getting the car last year. I have found a 'fix' on Renntech forum about reducing the length of the antenna but it goes on to refer to 'for North America markets'. Can anyone confirm if this 'mod' is valid for RoW as I'm not too keen on carrying out this mod if it will further reduce the range of the zapper. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?/tutorials/article/36-insuficient-or-remote-control-tsb-9662-made-easy/

POST 2Original post

Yes - it is the same on RHD models. The antenna wire for the alarm remote is in the left hand A pillar too.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks once again Richard. I took car into OPC today to have a new zapper programmed in and asked them if they could recode the dash to enable the computer part. The guy in service said that not all dashes can be enabled - do you know if this is true? It seemed like he didnt want to be there today and when I got car back the computer wasn't on - I forgot to ask if they tried to enable it or not before I left. Cheers once again. Dave

On pre-facelift cars, you can enable the OBC and it will display the outside air temperature in the display. Sounds like he couldn't be bothered to try.....

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
