baconline: Nothing wrong with your remote, the smart key system continuously sends out signals whether used or not,if the battery quality is not too good it will be running down in a few months Thanks bro, I just can't understand. |

Lexusgs430: I have not changed my remote batteries in 2 + years. But my car remote is factory fitted, same has the battery. Same goes for my Toyota Avensis 2011, the batteries have never been changed. I just can't figure out the problem with my Corolla. |

mayor2013: @ "op" this remote is compatible only with the following cars
Toyota venza, toyota avalon, toyota camry, toyota 4runner, toyota prius. I stand to be corrected though. Well, I have no idea. The car came with it. |
Car Talk › Re: Car Remote Drains Battery Fast. by paix(op): 12:02pm On Apr 25, 2016 |
0rex: The price depends on the features the unit has and installation cost. The most recent one I bought was last year and I installed it myself in a 2007 Toyota corolla. The unit was #3, 500 then. It just unlocks & locks the doors.
This particular car did not come with central lock. There might be a specific type of unit that works with your car which I assume came with factory central locks. These types of units will be more expensive. OK, thanks. |

AutoJoshNG: Hello Paix,
1) Make sure you buy an original battery. 2) Make sure the remote is not pressed and held down especially when in your pocket. 3) Has any liquid ever spilled on the remote? If yes, the remote may need some internal cleansing. 4) Check the battery connectors or terminals to ensure there is no circuit problem. I suspect Nos 1 and 4, thanks. But what baffles me is, even the spare runs down.

0rex: You are welcome.
That is an aftermarket remote. I'm suspecting that either the remote or the battery is not a good product (the battery current consumption of the remote is related to its design efficiency).
I suggest, you buy a packet of those batteries and change as required or upgrade your keyless entry system to a better one.
Also, avoid placing your keys in a hot environment like inside the car on a sunny day (I hope you have not been doing this ). No, the key is always in my pocket when in use. Changing the the keyless entry system, do you have any idea how much it might cost? |

0rex: 1. Is it an OEM (factory-fitted) remote or aftermarket?
2. Are you sure the keys are not accidentally being pressed continuously where the remote is kept?
3. Have you been buying quality batteries? The pic of the remote and the battery. The remote is usually kept away from any object accidentally pressing the keys, thanks.

This group of fulani herdsmen could just be another faction of the Boko Haram terror organisation. I notice that they operate only around the middle belt moving down south. They started from Plateau state, moved down to southern part of Kaduna state and now Benue state unleashing mayhem. If care is not taken, very soon they will move to the southern part of Nigeria. God help Nigeria. |

The American Spec seems to have very good effects on the engine and even provides for quicker acceleration and enhanced fuel economy. I have used it previously so i know. Can I get the mobil-1 locally (mobil filling stations in Kaduna)? How much is it? |
