Default Key FOB Security Antenna 2018 SG

Anybody had to replace the antenna under the seat for their key fob? My fob is acting strange and has a new battery so thinking it's the 16.00 antenna next to the battery.

Mine was acting up a bit about a year ago, and I replaced the battery too, didn't make a difference. The tab the battery sits against, I bent it up a bit so it was making better contact, also took a little steel wool too it just to make sure it was a good clean contact, no issues since. I think the tab was the ticket for me anyway.

I thought the antenna plugged into an electrical connector?

He’s talking about the battery in the fob, and the tab the battery slides against in the fob. Cleaning it and bending the tab up a little to ensure a good clean contact with the battery, in the fob.
