[Mk2] [NA] rev 5 alarm trouble

[aliendoughnut]

ok i have a rev 5 with a Toyota factory fitted alarm just lately is getting less responsive and i am having to press the key fob more times to get the alarm to arm and dissarm. I have put new batterys in both key fobs so its not a battery problem. can anyone suggest what this problem may be? I dont want to have to get another alarm fitted

So Is mine I think it's just the button on the keyfob, luckily I have a 2nd keyfob to fall back on that is unused. That works fine, odd that it's both of yours though.

This is a VERY common problem on rev5s apparently.

Mine is the same.

update!! its working fine now maybe it doesn't like the cold weather

It'll fail again soon

I'm not sure if it's the 'receiver' or the central locking ecu that just thinks it shouldn't be receiving anything so doesn't bother telling the receiver to check.
