Keyless Entry Sensors
After I got my car wrapped I lost my keyless entry. Both lock and unlock. I'm at the point now where Im wanting that feature back Im not so worried about the lock function since I can set the car to automatically lock after a certain time of the doors shutting. I might also add I'm about to buy one of the card keys from the dealer so I can just keep it in my wallet and not worry about my keys anymore. Does anybody have a diagram of where the unlock sensors are? Id like to avoid taking the door panel off to remove the exterior handle, but If thats what i need to do to unwrap the sensors then thats what it takes. I looked around but i didnt see the sensor.

I believe the auto lock fuction only works when you hit the unlock button and have not opened the door in X amount of time and the door will lock when you have it set to X amount of time. Once you open any door the feature will not lock any doors for you until you hit the lock button.

There are multiple receivers, one of which is in the driver footwell I believe. It sounds like either something was plugged out during the installation, or the wrap is possibly metallic-based, which is blocking the signal.

Is there not a physical sensor on the handle? Like a capacitive touch sensor? Before the wrap the car only unlocked when my hand was placed on the backside of the handle

Is it possible to just unwrap the sensors? the shop that wrapped it is about an hour away, so id like to try and unwrap it myself. Do you know the exact location of those sensors?

Is the inner side of the handle the same color as the paint? Sorry for all these stupid comments but I dont want to marr up the back of my handle if its thats not where the vinyl is. Is the bottom side of handle(not back) the sensor? or where exactly is it? A diagram would be helpful

nah, nothing stupid about your comment at all. It looks like the sensor run all the way from front to back of handle from top to bottom. If you press in the vinyl, you might be able to find crease where the sensor meet the handle and you can do your cut in there.

So if you see this pic, you can clearly see where handle end and where sensor begin, whole of the back of the handle is the sensor. same thing on the bottom, couldnt get a good pic coz of shadow.. but you can definitely try to feel it from the vinyl using your finger nail first maybe?
