Default Keyless entry problems

When I first got the SS the keyless entry/remote start worked like a charm. However, as soon as I installed the Diablosport Trinity it will only work within 4 or 5 feet. I remove trinity, it works fine at long distances again. Anybody having this problem as well? Thanks

Had the same exact problem when I had my trinity as well. Thought it was just my luck but I never really figured out why the trinity did this. Just kind of lived with it. I let it sit on the dash all the way back in the corner. Maybe this caused the interference? However if I simply unplugged it from the OBD2 port everything would go back to normal even with the trinity sitting there still. I used to just live with it like that.

my only guess is trinity is somehow messing with the bcm in a weird way? the keyless remote is under remote control door lock receiver in the bcm on the tech 2. i doubt there is an interference honestly considering how many other frequencies are constantly generated by other parts of the car and accessories such as gps,phones etc.
