Hello,

 

Antenna placemenet will greatly affect the range.

 

The antenna should be in the front windshield roughly 8-10" away from the rear view mirror. Also make sure it is not obstructed by other electronic deivces or the dot matrix on the egde of the windhsield.

 

Best regards.

The Antenna was installed on the windshield and the range is still weak! However, I don't know if the car will 

respond to the remote

How do I know that the car is responsive?
