ECUTek BT Dongle and Key Fob Range

jax4557

THANK YOU!!!

I had installed a new motor with my BP kit and also.. ordered the ecutek BT at the same time.. I thought during my teardown and install maybe I cut an antenna or something. I literally have to bump my fob up to the handle in my pocket for my handle button to work for lock and unlock and even the trunk. I have had instances where I have to turn my body to the other side when the fob is in the other pocket opposite of the car body. I also have next to nothing for fob range for lock and unlock 10 feet away from the car. I am thinking low fob battery plus this ecutek BT is the cause so thank you!

I will walk out to the car and unplug the ecutek BT and try this later with updated results.

Interesting, I don't have any range issue with any of the ones I have sold/installed. No complaints from anyone - quite a surprise indeed.

I believe weather conditions may play a role here as well. So perhaps in your area humidity and such are different that your customers are more in the "usable" range and don't notice it as much? Had my car always worked from 20-25ft I probably would have never noticed. When I started having to be within a foot for it to work, I noticed. It may also just be not everyone is affected as ECUTek hasn't replicated on their side of the pond. However their fobs are a different frequency. For those of that are affected, it's really annoying.

ECUTek wants to me try another test today, so it is actively being worked on still.

Whoa! I had no idea that was the cause of my issues! I'll try unplugging this and see what happens!
