Does anyone know if the CPO warranty covers the diversity antenna? My keyfob reception has been poor ever since I purchased the car last year. Just wanted to see if anyone knows, I'd like to get it replaced if its covered before my CPO runs out at the end of this year.

Why isn't it? So a CPO isn't pretty much an extension of the regular warranty? A part breaking, I don't understand how it's not covered... Or is it that anything caused by water damage is excluded?

Thanks guys, I will have to bring it in and see what the local dealer says. The remotes are working but I have to be no further than 5 feet from the car. Its a little annoying but not worth spending money on right now.

I am a new owner of a used 2010 wagon. My key remotes work, but I find I need to be within 6 feet or so of the vehicle. Is this the normal range or is my antenna going? I am just a few thousand miles shy of 50k...

Agree, should be covered. My car is currently in for a SZL module replacement, covered under CPO.

Steering column switch module, it's the piece that all your steering gear goes into (turn indicators, wipers, cruise) and consolidates the signals into a message on the Byteflight bus. It also houses the steering angle sensor, which is some sort of optical sensor. When it goes bad, AWD, DSC, 4x4, startoff assistance inactive errors are reported on iDrive (since the steering angle sensor is no longer working for those systems), active headlights no longer turn, and none of the steering column switchgear/buttons work. In my case, the wipers also ran continuously.
SZL replacement requires programming; when I left work today it was 2 hrs into the programming and not finished. Thank god for CPO! Hope to pick it up tomorrow.
Sorry for the tangent, but back to the OP's question - I've actually complained on diversity antenna range, and without a stored code in the DME the dealer could not do anything. They said they would have addressed it if there was code.

For some reason. Any comments on what the key range should be?
