Key fob operating distance after UConnect update

[daberk]

I recently updated my UConnect software. Has anyone noticed that your key fob doesn't seem to work from as far away as it did before the most recent update? I used to be able to lock/unlock from inside the house. Now I have to be within probably 20 feet of the truck.

Try replacing the fob's battery... it's a special one, 2450.
Also, location of the vehicle is key, it can be in the middle of a cell tower transmission and it'll mess it up pretty good... try move it a little bit and see if it does something.
