I changed batteries for both keys, I didn’t do any Vag-com , they both worked once I have them in ignition, but one of them has large operating range the other one I have to be almost beside the car to use it, does anybody has any idea about the reason. And how can I improve the operating range for the second key
Thanks

change the battery again? perhaps you got a shotty battery.....

rumor has it if you hold your key to your chin your range almost doubles

vbrad is right

another trick (i have not tested but more then a few different sets of freinds have told me this so idk if they are messing with me or if it works)
lets say you locked your keys in ur car, and the spare key fob is at home, if you call your house and your gf/wife answers and presses the unlock button into the phone voice section, and you hold your cell fone near your car, the signal will carry through the fone and unlock your car


gonna say its 99% BS but i never tried it and here is an article from a pretty valid website saying its possible
