quick4dr Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Junk the factory 2025, use a 2032 instead. 240mAH instead of 155mAH way more distance. worked from across my condo parking lot. even a new 2025 didnt do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 But I got my last ones for free at the dealer. Nice find. Do you notice that sometimes you have to be close to the car to get them to unlock, other times the doors unlock from 100ft away. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

DonnyJagaru Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I finally figured out what battery numbers mean. The first 2 digits are the diameter and the last 2 are the thickness. So 2025 is 20mm x 2.5mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogie Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 May I ask a stupid question? Both batteries are 3v but one has more mAh (milli amp hours)... How does that increase the transmit distance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogie Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hey! I just did a car hack and installed a 900CCA battery and hit 485hp - 500 tq on the dyno.. No offence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zangado1 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 My key fob for my 05 LGT has no issues locking or opening the doors but when I want to use the trunk feature it doesn't work. I used to have it open random but I had to hold the trunk button down forever. Went to the stealer and they took it apart and blew out some dust then the trunk opened like three times. Now im back to opening the car and using the lever to get in the trunk. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Replace the $60.00 latch for the trunk ?

Stogie Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Or you could take your keyfob apart and check to see if the conductive material on the membrane is worn off.. They sell the paint here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11521 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zangado1 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Replace the $60.00 latch for the trunk ? I replaced mine years ago. My inside latch is good next to the fuel door latch. It's my key fob trunk function that does not wanna work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell the paint here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11521 Pretty cool stuff. Never knew something like this was available. Beats buying a new key fob at the stealer. They want over $80.00 for a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogie Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 There could also be a cold solder joint in locations typical to the below GM key fob. If you don't want to spend the $$ on the paint you can try the aluminum foil and super glue fix. Or foil ductwork tape.... http://cdn.instructables.com/F49/ASDO/GTO4P5V6/F49ASDOGTO4P5V6.MEDIUM.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmoore5 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 No conductive traces on the 2005 FOB. It uses momentary switches. But I do see some degradation of the connections on the positive side at the circuit board on mine, this may be my intermittent trouble. Interesting that more battery capacity would affect distance, would only expect longer times between battery changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zangado1 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 So where you have the two red circles on the lowest photo you can see that the silver pickups are showing a void in the centers. Do you think that the contacts may be affected by where on those over time making for poor function in the trunk feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
