funny is that I found out if I only use remote without assemable with another half key, the signal strong enough to go through the wall.
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.

Hello guys, I'm new to here. I have some problem with my remote key recently. the key signal just degradeing and it's hard to lock/unlock the car. first I thought it could be low battery. after I put in new battery and still the same. I clean up the transmitter and still the same. funny is that I found out if I only use remote without assemable with another half key, the signal strong enough to go through the wall. I was play with remote while change battery, when I tested remote by press the button - my car in garage are locked. but after I put them together, even I close to my window and still hard to lock/unlock. is that mean I need a new remote head? any input would be appreciated.

Eddie:
First off "Wellcome to Rennlist!"
Second, they are notoriously sucky with regards to range. My 99 was the same way.I did clean the plastic halves of the remote, incuding the IR remote "window" and that helped. But yoou will just have to hold it up to your chin to get better range. I never found a way around it. Even my 02 C4S is lacking in range.
Good luck and I hope you know it is a new user requirement to post car pictures by your 5th post

Thanks, Tim. I appreciated your help. being a long time BMW driver (E30 325, E34 540, E39 540), Chris Bangle finally kicked me out of their court.
here is my little shy stock 99 C2...
When I complained to my dealers service manager, he said the system was very poor and he didnt know why porsche uses it. This is a problem porsche can resolve by improving the remote and security system. If everyone complains to their dealers maybe after time an improved system will be introduced. So; everybody go complain to Porsche.
Just picked up the new key and works like charm. now I can open/lock my car from my office...=)
$347 out of dealer's door... it's almost twice price compare to BMW... ouch!
Thanks for all your help.
