I have an 06 SS, with the keyless entry and remote start, however the range is very, very, very, low. It only works (on both keys) if you are with a foot or two of the driver door. I looked through the manual and didn't find anything as far as an adjustment to the range. I have put new batteries in the clicker, but no luck...

Anyone know anything about this?

 

yes, you can go to dealer and tell them- they will replace the module and antenna in the car and it will now work ALOT better.
Theres a few threads on this.
Known problem on the 06's and some 07's.
The problem was know for a while, but about 1 month ago the fix was released to dealers. so go on down and get your fix for free.

 

by the way, on my 07 built Feb 12.... my range is about 300 ft. and 400ft with it up on my chin. I meassured distance with my GPS device.

Check out this forum there is alot more help on LS1TECH then on this forum it was also the only place I've seen any TSB's posted for the Impalas and Monte Carlos

 

Gracias...

Took it down today, they replaced it and now it works much better. I thought I was the only person in the world that did the old FOB on chin trick. Everyone else looks at me like Im NUTS when I do it.

Thanks for you help.

 

wow... took it down and was fixed in 1 day. thats good.
do you know what was replaced?
Ive been using the chin method for YEARS...
prob since 1988....
I would be on the 2nd floor of my dorm room- if stick my head out and put the remote to my chin... sure enough Id see the lights flash on my 70 monte carlo in the distance.
