Not very impressed with the Omega fob, the range is apalling. I put a new battery in and the range improves to the point where I don't have to be standing next to the drivers door for about a week....... then it's back to that sort of range.

Would say the fob is faulty but the spare is exactly the same. :'(

Don't knock it. A colleague of mine used to have a Jag S-type and the fob had about 1/2 a mile range. He was forever coming out of the office to find the boot had been open in the rain cos he'd bent over with the keys in his pocket at some point during the day.  ;D

I've got a really good fob on tractor.  So much so, that I'm going to program to MV6 if/when that car ever gets back on the road.

Why do you need to open it so far away? mine works 2/3 cars way as i walk up to it. X plate facelift, never changed the battery so far.

Its ok for me  :)

When you put a new battery in the fob you can stand about 6ft away, after a week you need to be standing next to the drivers door..... really good if all you want to do is open the boot.

Faulty fob?

As i said, mine works about 3 cars way in the station car park, so about 12-15 feet away.

I often pop the boot as i walk up to it...

That's what I thought, however the spare is the same. Might get a third fob (I have the horseshoe/blade and immobiliser chip already) from VX and get TB to program it.  ::)
