remote FOB

Oct 16, 2005 4 Replies

I have a 04 Forester and find the remote lock FOB VERY annoying...It opens the driver's door just fine but I find that it is fidgity to open the other doors..I know that you have to hit the blue button twice for all doors but I end up hitting it ten times for it to work. Is it twice in quick succession or once, wait and then again?



Does anyone else find their FOB a pain in the butt?


No, mine works fine on my '02 OBW, but maybe your battery is bad.

Twice within 2-5 seconds. check your manual. And you likely must be within line of sight closer than 30 ft. Newer remotes seem to have limited range. Supposedly to reduce 'code capture' opportunities for hi-tech thieves.

Mine works, but only at relatively close range compared to most others. Check the battery, it makes a world of difference.

must have the old one, I have unlocked my '04 Forester at over 100 feet.
