Keyless Remote-extending Range.


Matts 850 GLT

Recommended Posts

Sometimes with the remote you have to get up right next to the car to unlock it. At that point its better to just use the key. Its more of an advantage to have it lock from far away. No one wants to walk back to the car to lock it.

silly 850 drivers, i use the central locking switch ON THE DOORPANEL to lock the doors when i park somewhere.. :D

If one thing needs real help on even the new Volvo's is the keyless entry fob. Of course the old 850 ones never worked right, even 2 inches from the window (tough luck if it is raining hard out there :lol: ) But the new ones are not any better, and they are even worse. They look like a brick and feel like one in your pocket! :blink: They wanted to copy the Mercedes style, but that is not a great idea. The range is not as good as GM and VW or Audi and the bottons do not feel good on the touch.

For the frustrated crowd, get an after market alarm!!

You have to do anything? Heck, mine unlock when I turn the car off. Automatically. Not sure what your issue is. Pfft... pushing buttons is so 1990s.
