Keyless remote antenna

[Shroomster]

Anyone fancy a clue how long the Rf antenna is for the factory keyless entry?

It's been irking me for a while and I never remember to look at it (somewhere under the steering column) or post my concern on here.

My wife only gets about 4-10' reception out of it no more than say two car lengths.

meanwhile my 2001 civic with factory keyless entry has a range of over a mile.

(i'm just comparing signal strength; not honda to toyota or anything like that)

no the batteries are not bad/weak (i've changed them out frequently with different unopened packages from different brands at different dates)


and I haven't gotten in to see what I'm working with. and I haven't checked the EWD for the system yet either (cuz I'm lazy and I don't know where it is on the computer @ the moment. I'll find it in a few)



thanks for the help or the prods in the right direction....
