If you have Marty's filter, then you do not need the antenna disconnected . . . . . . but local RF interference will still cause reduced FOB range. At home I have to be with 10 feet of the car, but at work the FOB works 30-40 feet away.

FYI the filty box doesn't change anything RF related. It simply checks for a valid P38 FOB Type before allowing the data through to the BECM - hence prevents random wakeup.

And if it fails it can potentially block all communication with the BECM.

Thars a point

Easy to check - just re-plug the RF receiver direct & see if the FOB communicates. Assuming Nanocom is working, clear the RF memory. Then press the fob & read the memory again.

Maybe the filter box has failed.

I removed it as well to test, made no difference
