hello and good day to all..

have a querrie re the keyless remote... i have noticed na maigsi lang ang effective range niya whenever i want to lock or unlock my innova i have to be at least 2 feet away lang from the car otherwise i cannot unlock or lock my car using the remote keyless option.. is there a way to increase the effective range? kasi my old car with the cheap taiwan alarm e kahit na 10 meters effective pa rin whenever i arm or unarm it e...

actually around 3 meters lang talaga ang maximum distance para ma trigger ang receiver ng transmitter. Ang usual culprit dito is the design of the transmitter which is attached to the handle of the key. This gives the transmitter less space to accommodate a battery with a higher voltage. Another culprit may be the absence of a transistor which may amplify the signal of the LED (Light Emitting Diode) or IRED (Infrared Emitting Diode).

You can actually increase the effective range without destroying your keys or your stock alarm. Just buy a long range car alarm and have it wired sa central locking system mo. In short, you will have 2 alarms. One for the alarm per se and one for long range keyless entry.

For those with better knowledge, please correct me.

By the way, gusto ko sanang itanong kung meron interior cover ang hood ninyo. Yung nakadikit sa underside ng hood to protect the interior of the hood as well as the paint of the hood from the engine's heat.

[Takumi]

Sa akin meron.

AFAIK, the cover is available only for the diesel variants. Gas variants will have to make do without the cover.

DIY ba yong sa yo Takumi? Anong material?

Ok thats a relief. Mine kasi is gas. Pero bakit yung vios nung kapitbahay ko meron? May diesel bang vios?

[leinahtan]

So kung DIY, ano kaya appropriate shielding material?

[utakabo]

may nabibili nyan acoustiform (o acoustifoam?) ang tawag. sa handyman meron around 700+ pero sa hans tools sa shangrila mall 600+ lang

Depending on the many different manufacturers around, their numerous models and variants may or may not sport the cover. AFAIK, a vehicle does not need to be a diesel to have sport one. It really depends upon the discretion of the manufacturer.

In the case of the Toyota IMV platforms (Hi-Lux, Innova and Fortuner), the respective diesel variants sports the cover and the gas variant dont.

Went to Toyota Otis this afternoon, and PRETEND my ride has some problem on cold start the past week...

Conversation went like this...

IB: May complain ako sa Innova ko, hard starting sa umaga..

SA: dala niyo ba unit niyo..

IB: OO, pero pag mainit na ang makina ok na siya, sa umaga lang may problem sa start.. panu ba ayusin yan??

SA: kelangan natin makita na meron talaga defect o ayaw mag-start bago namin ma-check, kasi kung wala naman problem eh di natin maverify yan...

IB: ganun ba, eh di pag ayaw mag-start sa umaga, tawagan kita tapos punta ka sa amin para ma witnes mo ang hard strating sa umaga..

SA: sorry sir pero di namin pwede gawin yun, kasi ang pang-check namin niyan ay yung parang laptop diagnostics, di pwede dalhin kung saan-saan kasi mahal at baka mawala kasi worth 400k yun...

IB: eh panu natin maayaos ang problem ng Innova ko??

SA: Sir dapat iwan niyo ang sasakyan niyo dito then pag-ayaw start the next day that's the time na-icheck namin ang actual problem ng unit niyo...

IB: pero diba may problem na lumalabas sa mga D4D engines ngayun na hard starting or stalling daw..

SA: DI TOTOO YAN, may naninira lang sa amn kasi maganda ang track record ng mga vehicles namin ngayun...

Well, what can you say people.....you be the judge...

WBR,

[larshell]

Gusto kung puntahan yang SA na yan ano bang name nyan at ipapakita ko lang sa kanya lahat ng records ko sira ulo*#$%#*# Gusto pa yatang palabasin nyan na Ako, si straWolf,Lord, ay naninira lang :fire:

[bongliza]

cge, puntahan mo larshell, nasa likod mo kami...go...go....go....

Totoong maganda ang track record ng Toyota ngayon kasi sa sales sila nagdedepende. Pero sana maging open minded sila sa mga ganitong problema. Bakit ba kasi hindi uso dito sa Pinas ang total recall ng mga sasakyan for free repair and adjustment?

Because here in the Philippines, we have very poor consumer rights, unlike in the US.

True, but can't we do something about it? Sino sa inyo ang may kilalang senador para makapagpasa sa senate ng bill about car recalls?

Sir Takumi,
AFAIK , Senator Villar has a pending Bill about this, Anti lemon law , kasama na dito ang recalls, so ang pinakamagandang gawin dito ay call the attention of the principal author of this bill and file complaints against this car manufacturers, para may backer ang mga ka grupo laban sa mga hinayupak na mga dealers na ito.
