Hi all,

I am troubleshooting an issue that seems to be related to a Scosche kit install on my 2012 ZL1. I had posted an earlier thread related to an "electrical gremlin" and was able to narrow it down to the Scosche kit install.

I have had three other members PM me with similar issues, so I want to see if there are others seeing issues with their Scosche kit.
=================================================
Here are my issues:

Issue #1:
Both of the key FOB would only work when I was within 8 feet or so of the car. Page 2-3 says it should be 65 feet. I changed the battery on both FOBs and the issue persisted. The FOBs were also replaced. Here is a video showing the issue

Issue #2:
I programmed my Universal Remote System to work with my garage door. This is also a feature I had on my 2010 Camaro SS. The signal of the URS is limited to approx. 8 feet from the antenna of the garage door.

Issue #3:
I intermittently receive an alert for the tire pressure monitoring system. Both rear tires sometimes lose signal with the vehicle. The reading was displayed as “—“

Issue #4:
Sometimes when opening the trunk with the FOB, the locking mechanism engaged twice. (Unlock then lock). This prevents the trunk from latching closed. I have to hit the FOB again to unlock the latch before it would close.

Issue #5:
The "auto door unlock" settings always default back to "driver door" once the menu is exited.
=================================================

When the Scosche kit is disconnected from the car, issue#1 immediately goes away. Issues 2,3,and 4 have not reoccured after two weeks of waiting.

As best as I can tell:
It appears that the Scosche kit is sending some sort of signal down the communication bus that is interfering with the "Remote Door Lock Controller Module" (RDLCM) via the Body Control Module (BCM).

Are any other Scosche users having weird electronic-like issues?
