Problems with the range of your key - no problem! Just use the Jeremy Clarkson method of holding the key fob to your scull while you press to get the skeletal frame to increase the range!

Not sure how many of you saw that Top gear episode a couple of years ago, but next day there were people all over the place trying it. It wasn't April 1st, and I'm still not convinced it doesn't work (double negative there to get your brain working this morning).

It does work - your head acts as a cavity for it.  No comments about empty cavitys please.

Not very impressed with the Omega fob, the range is apalling. I put a new battery in and the range improves to the point where I don't have to be standing next to the drivers door for about a week....... then it's back to that sort of range.

Would say the fob is faulty but the spare is exactly the same. :'(


 

Why do you need to open it so far away? mine works 2/3 cars way as i walk up to it. X plate facelift, never changed the battery so far.

Its ok for me  :)

When you put a new battery in the fob you can stand about 6ft away, after a week you need to be standing next to the drivers door..... really good if all you want to do is open the boot.



Same here  ::)
