Re: Transmitter range (remote keyless entry) V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Russell D. Ollie Sr. on  Sun Oct 29 20:42 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Neal, the remote to the chin trick does work but the reason and the answer has to do with the placement of the transmitter in the remote. In order to maximize your range you need to point the right side edge of the remote at the remote sensor (on the dash as I recall). Depending on the surroundings it may require you to elevate your remote so the signal clears the front end of the car or the rear seats and trunk lid depending on your position. I learned of this solution about a year ago or so from someone else here. I can now get a range of up to 100 feet or so in optimum conditions for our V70 and S80. Hope this helps.

Thanks.
