Central Locking, Range is Very Short

[Super Coach]

Well the tint is darker then legal requirements so it might have the metallic segments as it is darker and you have to put your head next to the window to see in or if the sun is shining thru the front window you can see straight in with out putting your head next to the window. it doesn’t work when you are about 1 giant foot step back from the boot. Doesn’t want to really work at all until I start walking along side. Works from the front. But it is intermittent, don’t know whether to complain to Holden and say they gave me a flat key cos I got two new keys about two months ago not even that.

Most remote keys will transmit better if the base of the key head is pointed at the car, pointing the key means the antenna in the key head is covered by the hand.

Still likely battery is going, seen em cheap on Ebay lately, Only $15 for a 2 new button head.
