Recently, we heard from a Lasfit customer who shared their experience after installing some aftermarket lights:
"I put a pair of your switchback fog lights in my 2020 Honda Civic. I got them as a gift. After installing them, my remote start from my key fob stopped working. Is this a known issue? If so, is there a workaround?"

While this isn't a common issue—generally, lights shouldn't interfere with your vehicle's other systems—it did happen!

Have you ever had your key fob remote act up after installing aftermarket LED bulbs? How did you fix it? Share your story below!

 

I've never had this happen. Any LED bulbs I've installed are dormant when the FOB is used- how can it affect the operation?

 

I could see this as a potential issue on a Euro car, but most of those are all factory equipped with LEDs these days.

I installed some footwell LED lights in my 2012 Frontier. It significantly decreased the range on my key fob. It still works, but I have to be pretty close to use the un/lock. Some LEDs can cause radio frequency interference. I thought this was a pretty well known issue.

 

it has been reported on the corvette forum, people with led bumper markers can interfere with the TPMS sensors
