What is your average life for your FAST key? Mine is about 3 months old, and I believe it is already about dead.

I have to hold it about an inch from the door to get it to work. My wife’s fast key still works from a distance. I use mine multiple times a day, as she only uses it once or twice a week.

I would still think that I should get more than 3 months with daily uses.

 

My Fast Key has been working since Nov. 2007 and works great...I wiil replace the battery in a few months just to be safe......

 

The mine are good after 2 years and 2 months. . .l

 

Have been using the same one since June 2007 with no problems. Probably battery failure, get a swapped out. And if you have already and problem still exists then have dealer replace fob.

 

yup, has been using mine since the day I got it, 2 years exactly

btw, anyone knows what type of battery do we need (07 key)?

 

I think its a CR2032 battery. About the size of a nickel.

 

Is true, CR2032, 3 voltios, for 07-up models. . .

 

Just one CR2032?

My wife works at an electronics store, and gets those things for about $0.50. So even if mine only lasted 3 months I am not going to complain.

 

what model year is your vehicle?

certain 2007 model fast keys will remain in test mode and drain the battery down

 

Yea, I just replaced mine in both of my remotes. I have had the car 2 years, and I have noticed a decrease in the range, with both fobs, even after changing the battery... so I don't know. But my second one I never use, it is just a backup and it drained at the same rate as the one I use everyday. I finally knew it was time to change it when the car told me the battery was low, although it only said it once and I drove like that for another 2 weeks.
