Mongoose M60

[Astro Bear]

So I got a Mongoose M60 installed today along with an automatic "windows up" feature.

It remote controls are quite possible the most frustrating pieces of shit I have ever purchased. Basically I have to stand within 2 metres of the car to get the bastard to arm/disarm. Gone are the days when I could walk up to my car and press the central locking button (standard skyline one) from 5 metres away and get the car to unlock/lock.

Is this a common problem, or maybe an install issue?

Should I take it back, or is there something I can do to make the remotes work at a longer distance/more reliably?

Thanks guys.

if they are the new square ones I cannot help. range was usually a install issue on them when I sold them. add a LONG bit of wire to the antenna and route it across the front screen. that will help greatly.

So I took the car back today. They tried extending the antennae but to no avail. It turned out the module was faulty, so they replaced it, and hey presto, she works like a charm. Rang is no longer an issue and I am a very happy man.

I now *heart* my mongoose.
