You could also consider upgrading to a newer fob model if your device is older. Modern fobs typically have better range and signal strength due to improved technology.
[quote=“ablake, post:9, topic:2393”]You could also consider upgrading to a newer fob model…[quote]True, but do you really need a fancy fob? I mean, my old one works fine…most of the time! But it would be nice toying with something new.
I’ve looked into key fob range extenders and found that they come in various forms, like signal boosters and relay systems. Make sure to check the compatibility with your car model before buying.
That’s super helpful! I’ve been eyeing a couple of brands—are there any in particular that you recommend?

I tried a key fob extender for my SUV last year. It worked fine, but it had intermittent issues. Just be careful to choose one that specifies the vehicle type.

That’s interesting to hear! Did you have to install anything? I’m not very tech-savvy.
Most extenders are pretty easy to install—usually just plug-and-play. If you’re unsure, look for models with good support and clear instructions!
I think it’s essential to read reviews. Some extenders might promise a lot but deliver poorly. Check out forums for user experiences.
Great point! Anyone have recommendations on reliable sites to check reviews?
I generally use Amazon and check the Q&A sections. You sometimes find genuine user feedback there.

Good idea! Have you found any specific extenders that work well?
For my Mazda, the KeyFobMax works wonders! I’ve seen improvements. But remember, results can vary by make and model.
