Key fob issues

Hey, appreciate the feedback . You might've missed it earlier, but my car is a 2010 Latio, with a Gazoline engine. It's clocked about 113660 km so far. Your experience with your Almera seems somewhat similar to my situation. Might follow your advice and get that antenna checked out. 260 Euro, huh? Guess it's better safe than sorry. Cheers for the heads-up and sharing your experience!

Oh, apologies for missing out your model, my bad. Your Latio, even though different from my Almera, should have similar key fob communication system. With the mileage you've mentioned, some parts may start to show wear and tear, and the antenna system is no exception. In my case, the glitch was not only the faulty cable but also the mechanic found some corrosion around the antenna, which caused the signal disruption. Cost me around 260 Euro including labor, but frankly, the peace of mind knowing you can lock and unlock your car reliably is worth every penny. So put aside the tech stuff for a moment, if the issue you have is similar to mine, a thorough check in garage focusing on those areas could save you from a lot of future headaches. Happy to provide what help I can, and hoping your Latio gets back to 100% ASAP! Cheers!

No worries, could've been an easy miss. Your advice is sound and your experience with your Almera does seem strikingly similar to my case. I think I'll be bringing my Latio over to the garage as soon as possible - better sooner than later. I didn't quite consider the corrosion aspect before, but now that you mentioned, that could very well be the culprit. 260 Euro is not a small amount, but hey, worth investing to get rid of these unpredictabilities. You gave me a good point to start troubleshooting with the garage. Thanks a ton for your suggestions and kind words. Cheers!

Hey there, Sounds like a similar problem I ran into with my 2008 Nissan Almera, another model from the same brand. While I wouldn't call myself a car expert, I've got a bit of experience and can fiddle with stuff. Took it to my trusty local garage and it turned out to be a dodgy cable connection to the bumper antenna. Shelled out about 260 Euro and it was sorted. Just a thought, might want to pinpoint your exact model and engine type so I could possibly delve deeper and give more precise advice. Hope this gives you a lead!
