Why does a car's keyless entry work only when I hold the fob near my chin?

Our answer

The human body can alter RF antenna coupling, sometimes improving weak key-fob signal; replace the fob battery first.

Why this approach makes sense

Travel, transport and payment providers use different rules. The correct answer comes from the actual booking, provider and transaction.

Before you try it

Check the operator’s current conditions and keep any relevant receipt or confirmation.
