How are you guys' remotes working? (Range)

[msforever]

Just got my G (03 sedan) couple weeks ago, have been working on some stuff (oil & fluid, plugs... Thanks for your suggestion!). But I just notice my keyless remote does not work so well, basically I have to be close enough to make it work (less than 8 feet I guess). Even my GF's old one works more than 30 feet (96 maxima) .

So is it a common thing or I am the only one? I am thinking about taking it to the dealership recently, what do you guys think? Thanks!

Get the battery replaced!

Welcome to Nico, how long have you had your car? Plans to modify your G or Just a Daily driver?

Cheers,Grant

Went to the dealership today, they said the remote need to be replaced and re-programmed, and I am going to pay 205 bucks + tax.

Besides, they also suggested the 105,000 miles maintenance, which is 1000 bucks + tax (including the plugs that I have done). Do I need to do the rest of the maintenance then? What do you guys think? Thanks!

I don't see yours listed, however all are much cheaper than what is stated unless they mean the part on the car itself. You may want to give them a call and see. I have had good luck with them on another purchase.

For my particular car, an 08, I was told by the local Nissan dealer that I could get a second remote complete for $130.

Did you try a new battery?

With my 08, I recently have been having some range issues, although around 50 feet. Today I took in a movie and was thinking I forgot to lock the car. It worked around 200 feet away. Did not even have to get as close as I normally do.

I get over 150 ft with mine!

I know it makes a lot of difference with how many cars are in a lot for example, although yesterday there were a lot of cars but I could see mine even though it was at the edge of the lot. Also maybe other things like cell tower interference may come into play as many places I park have one.

I have always been satisfied with the exception of just recently when it started to tail off, but yesterday was not only good, but better than normal.
