My keyless entry no longer works on anything but the driver side door. I got my tC July 10th and have had no problems until now. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

 

Dont waste time waiting for someone on the boards to give you an easy fix to the solution...go to the dealer immediately...

 

Did you click it twice?


Seriously though, take it to the dealership.

 

batteries????

 

seriously though, did you click it twice? sorry, had to say it.

I had a weird thing happen to me and mine...I was approaching my car from maybe a hundred feet away and I started pressing the buttons on the key, just to see how far away it would work. as I was walking closer I kept pressing the buttons. I thought that when I got close enough the lights would flash like they're supposed to. finally I got to my car and it still didn't work, not even standing 2 feet away from it. I drove it home, about a half hour drive, and when I got home it still didn't work. I couldn't unlock it or lock it, nada. by this time I was a bit worried. the next morning when I went to my car everything worked fine. I unlocked it, I locked it, and I unlocked it. it was just like it should be.

I'm just guessing here, but I figure that when I was walking up to it I got in range in the middle of the "communication" between the key and the car and the car got a garbled message. I think that by me pressing it over and over, at the edge of the key's effective range, the car got confused and "timed out" the keyless entry for a while.

it's worked perfectly ever since. I hope this helps.

 

yeah, I'm starting to learn that the second click on the key doesn't always register right. Still trying to figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong...

But before going to the dealer: try the other master key and see if that works.

 

wait, not another problem.........

 

I do know in some areas like Northern VA and Maryland, some of the towers are interferring with car's remotes. But since your first click is working, I doubt if the towers could be the problem.

i try to stay out of your stupid coments replys but you ma'm are gettin really annoying......if you dont like the tc so much then dont come in the tc section simple as that.

 

Certain objects in the environment (i.e radio/cellphone towers, power pole transformers, anything that causes a significant electromagnetic field) can interfere with the remote signal to lock and unlock your car. In instances where there is little electomagnetic interference, you can stand 20+ feet away and activate your keyless entry system. In instances where you are near interference, you may have to get much closer to your car to activate it.

 

quick question while still on topic.. are the keyless entry and car alarm keys the same? I was thinking about getting the OEM seperately and installing it since I can get it much cheaper (~$200).

They should be.

 

I wonder if it wasn't confused, but shut itself off after a couple of bad attempts to prevent someone from hacking it.

 

could be. like I said, been fine ever since. now I just wait until I'm closer to the car before I unlock it.
