Dear Members, Just wondering if anyone has a similar issue with VE Key Remotes that recently have had.
Recently my day to day Key Remote [Key 2 - non flip key] started to slowly deteriorate transmit range, I did the usual and changed the battery, using a new one, and that didn't work, so I installed another new battery, and the same result.
I decided to use my spare Key [Key 1 - flip key] and works ok, and the range has not deteriorated, so its not a receiver range issue with the BMC.
I have a Autel Unit [Automotive Diagnostic Unit] and decided and delete the Keys from my BMC, and reprogrammed them in again, I was able to program them in ok, and both start the car ok, but I still have the same problem, Key 1 is working ok, but Key 2 still doesn't work till I am with in 2 metres of my car. Anyone else had an issue like this ?.
Out of Frustration, Yesterday I purchased a new Key Remote from a Locksmith advertising on eBay and got it cut [pre-cut via code] and that should arrive in the next few days, I will program that in, and see how that goes and update the thread with the result.
