cookci Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have an A606 alarm (pro fitted apparently!) The range is poor. Sometimes you have to put the fob on the glass to open the doors! the batteries have been replaced which did nothing!! Any suggestions? Was going to fit remote start to it but i think i might look i bit of a tool remote starting from a 1ft away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The antenna is a short wire which comes out of the contol unit, probably fitted behind the dashboard somewhere. He must've either cut it off or it's in a bad location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 cheers buddy your very helpful you reckon it might be worth extending? Dont suppose u have a a606 by any chance do you? Don't think you're supposed to extend them for some reason - read it somewhere, don't know why. I have got a Ai606 aswell, you don't have to be close at all for it to work.

Ouch got me Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 put the remote against your ear and open your mouth.....your head will amplify the signal:innocent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Mine works form quite a distance, wouldn't go for the remote start as its actually illeagle to have an engine running whilst not in the car (its called "Quitting" apparently) although dont think many police would do you for it.

D8MOA Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 ive had 2 ai606's and both had poor range! sometimes thay would work from a short distance away but most of the time i would near enough have to be on top of the car for it to open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookci Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 sounds like its something todo with the way its installed then hey. im gonna have to look at the wiring anyway to put remote start in so i guess its dash off time again lol thanks for all the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 My gt alarm is like that almost has to be touching the car. I just thought it was a design feature to prevent high tech car criminals being able to somehow pick up the frequency your remote works on and then reproduce it to get into your car at later date, could be wrong?
