Ongoing remote locking issue - Diversity Antenna?

Hi folks,

I have a 2011 F10 and for the past year I've been having an ongoing issue with my key fob / remote locking. You can check my previous threads for full context, but TL;DR, I don't believe it's the key at fault anymore.

Because recently my key fob (I only have the one) had been working flawlessly, but after some very heavy rain, it stopped working again. That made something click in my head and I realised that the previous issues tended to occur after heavy rain or having my car washed.

Is it possible that the diversity antenna is at fault? I've checked for error codes and don't have anything relating to the remote locking system, and I don't have any water ingress in the car and there are no obvious signs of a leak. I'm not even sure if this is an issue on the F10 as the antenna is inside the car, but I know the diversity antenna in general can cause a lot of issues and I'm not sure what else it could be at this point. Something in the sharkfin?
