ok so i have an 01 audi tt , put new batteries in it, still only about 10 feet worth of service to lock / unlock or put the windows up/down.

i know about the chin thing for an extention but it doesnt work that well.

ive been searching on how to extend my antenna on the car for my keyless, and maybe extend the strength of the keyfob itself.


Thx

 

It all depends where the "brain" for the alarm is located.

 

yea i was thinking the same thing, but its all stock and its an 01. any ideas ?

someone who has a tt or who has done this mod ??

Thx

 

Personally I dont know where its located and my tt also gets horrible reception, you can try calling the dealer they just might let you know where its at ???

 

ya i'll have to wait till monday but my experince with audi dealers ends up beign that i know more then they do. . . they are never helpful and there attitude seems to be hey you have an older car and we're not really interested in helping out.

well here is where the ECU is , maybe the line is off of that ? or idk

 

negatory. ECU has little to do with it. Key fob works on FM reception, which is more or less line of sight. This is why you get terrible radio reception in mountains, parking garages, etc.

I know on the 99-ish A4's the antenna was actually under the rear seat. Hidden under a seat, down below window level, and therefore shielded by sheet metal. Range could be increased quite a bit by routing the antenna up the C pillar, or across the rear window.

I have my rear seat out, haven't really paid much attention to wires there, according to some audiworld posts, its the same deal.

this is interesting... i thought i just had a crappy key haha.. hmm

 

ya hmm i dont see anything under my pass seat, i think thats just for the roadster model TT. i looked at the wires on the pass side by the kick panel and i dont see any clear ones yet. . . god this sux

 

i believe its the rear seat to look under not the pass...
