Some time ago there was a post about extending the receiver aerial to improve the range of the fob. I cannot find that now but basically it consisted of soldering a length of wire on to the receiver's aerial and laying it across the width of the car under the dash cover.

This worked for me, although it only extended the range to about a foot (from having to touch the fob against the windscreen) whereas a new battery and cleaning the fob board beforehand made no difference.

My problem now is that I only have one fob (but two keys) and I understand that the fob has to be coded to the car and can be quite expensive.
