Key Fob Sensitivity

sixburgh · 07-08-2014, 07:48 PM

I find that my trunk button on the key fob is quite sensitive to the touch.
That I will handle the key fob or insert into the dash and the trunk will open accidently. This is not my intent. Anyone else have this issue?

So I made a cardboard sleeve that slides over the fob and hides the trunk button only. I haven't had issue since...

The trunk opening button on the key fob has been an issue for many owners. I don't even use that function any more. Dealer has been NO help, new battery- No help. I tried it a while back and it set off the vehicle alarm, wtf. I have done some coding on the car which has been far more useful than the button on the fob.

I have the opposite problem with my trunk button on the fob. I really have to push it down hard to get the trunk the pop.

That sounds like an adjustment issue. At least your fob seems to work.
