I back into my garage and mine is finicky pulling away as well. I have to make sure I close the door while I'm still on the driveway or I have to pull out my phone and close it from the alarm.com app.

I just did this today with an old length of phone wire. Seems to have helped. I'll know more in March/April when the cars come out of hibernation.

i'll look into lengthening the antenna today. That sounds like a good place to start.

Please let us know how it goes, since you'll know before I can test my longer antenna on the 991. Thanks!

May give this a try as well - mine hardly works even pulling directly in. Opposite direction - forget it. With the remote, it worked well.
