CHR Keyless Entry and Starting Issues

My 2019 Toyota CHR gasoline engine has a weird issue: error stored, keyless entry acts up, and sometimes I can't start the engine without the key. My mechanic suspects a defective bumper antenna cable or plug. Anyone else experienced this? Is replacing the antenna worth 95€?

I had something similar happen with my CHR. Your symptoms sound very familiar. Is your radio reception affected at all? I noticed a lot of static and weaker signal strength before the other issues became obvious.

That's interesting! I hadn't really paid attention to the radio, but the signal does seem weaker than usual. Was it definitely the antenna in your case? And did replacing it solve all the problems?

Yes, replacing the antenna fixed everything. Given your symptoms and the weak radio signal, it's highly likely to be the same issue. I'd recommend getting it checked out properly by a workshop, but based on my experience, an antenna replacement should resolve it.

Thanks so much for the insight! Knowing that it likely is the antenna issue makes me feel more confident about getting it fixed. I'll book it in with the workshop and hopefully, that'll be the end of it!
