Alam goes off when using key to unlock door.
If this is not the correct forum to ask this question, please suggest a better
one. Thanks! I just bought a (pre-owned) 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring. A strange (I think) thing is happening: When I lock the car, the security system is armed (that's normal). When I unlock the car using the key in the driver's door, and then open the door, the alarm goes off. Since this car is equipped with a very "authoritative" horn, it is a bit embarrassing. Is this a problem with my car? or am I overlooking something? Thanks for any help and/or suggestions! |

Always start with reading the owners manual. Since this model is not equipped with lock cylinder switches, passive disarming of the VTSS is only possible if the vehicle is equipped with the optional Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). On vehicles with SKIS, turning the ignition switch to the On position using a valid SKIS key will passively disarm VTSS. Active disarming of the VTSS occurs when the vehicle is unlocked by depressing the "Unlock" button of the RKE transmitter. Once the alarm has been activated, either disarming method will also deactivate the alarm. Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

Whuch beggs the question: Why even sell additional keys which do not have the RKE transmitter incorporated? Do you feel dealers are familiar with the details you gave me? Cheers! |

Possibly for another model (recut key). Im sure if you had a new sales person sell you the car they may not be familiar with the details, but that is true for almost anything you buy now days. I just went to Circuit city to find something that would boost my wireless router signal and the salesman tried to sell me another router. Glenn Beasley Chrysler tech |

I just went to Circuit city to > find something that would boost my wireless router signal and the salesman > tried to sell me another router. > Just FYI Glenn, max transmission output is set by the FCC for all transmitters You cannot boost (legally) your wireless router signal - at least, not the signal going into the antenna. All you can do is get a better antenna. The little cell-phone style antennas are not very good. Ebay is filled with people who make, usually in their basement, antennas that have far better gain than the little cell phone style antenna. Antennas are pretty simple from a parts standpoint, but the engineering that goes into them is not, and there is an art to making good antennas. If your wireless router antenna is not coupled with a fitting to your router, you will need a new one in order to use a better antenna. Some of the cheaper routers come with permanently attached antennas. I would find a better antenna on Ebay first, then buy whatever router the guy that made it, recommends that you use. Ted |

I already knew what I wanted when I went to Circuit City.
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...s itorWrapper They call it a range booster but what it really does is extend your signal. You program it and plug it up to where the signal is weak and it extends the signal. It works really good Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

This "extender" is a simple repeater. It "relays" the signal in both
directions between the low power client device and the only slightly higher power Access Point. These do work well when used for their designed purpose and provided there is adequate signal to noise ratio. Regarding what Ted stated, there is indeed a maximum allowed WiFi Effective Isotropic Radiated Power of 4 Watts (36dBm) for an Omni antenna in the USA. By the way, this figure is way above what most residential/SOHO access points will emit. Most of these devices are more along the order of 100-200mW EIRP (some are less). But, the usual problem is not with the AP transmit power since it can usually be heard at the client device. The usual issue is with the other direction, the uplink (the RF link from the client to the AP) since the client device has much lower EIRP due to physical antenna design and need to operate on lower (typically battery) power.

Naturally the stronger radiated power the better, but a sensitive antenna will gather more signal and so it does in fact, help in both directions. Ted |

Thanks Ted. This one is doing a good job and one will do it
