Default diversity antenna

Hello all,
My diversity antenna problem. I can only lock my car via comfort access, (thumb pressed on the driver side keyhole) i have tried both fobs and neither work. i can open via fob and alarm and trunk work also, just closing does not work. So i pulled out the diversity antenna to try and clean the contacts...no luck. I want to buy a used one from the same year but will i need any coding to make it work? Is it simple plug and play?
Thanks A

So a quick update...My new diversity antenna is working great with no coding needed. My range for opening the locks is amazing but i still have the problem with both fobs not locking! It only works using my driver side key hole with thumb.Any thoughts? I hear buying new keys for comfort access is $$$.
Could both LOCK buttons be broke on the fobs?

Hi-

what did u have to do to replace the Diversity Antenna? Did u have to remove one of the c-pillar covers to access connectors or something else? Did u have to remove or pull down the roof liner? Any photos showing how u did this?

Is there an airbag in the c-pillars?

Thanks

google e6o diversity antenna i believe it was their that i found the process. or search on this forum and directions should be there also. yes on the c pillar passenger side behind the air bag plastic piece is a screw and removing the 3rd brake light.
I still cant lock the car with fobs...only comfort access works for that. I wish i could figure this one out!
Cheers
