A method of communicating with a portable access device includes iteratively performing an algorithm via an access module of a vehicle. The algorithm includes a series of operations including: selecting a frequency from multiple frequencies; selecting an antenna pair from multiple possible antenna pairs, where antennas of the possible antenna pairs include antennas with different polarized axes; transmitting a packet to the portable access device via the selected antenna pair; receiving a first RSSI and a response signal from the portable access device, the first RSSI corresponds to the transmission of the packet; and measuring a second RSSI of the response signal; based on the first RSSIs and the second RSSIs. A best one of the frequencies and a best antenna pair of the possible antenna pairs are selected. One or more additional packets are transmitted using the selected best frequency and the selected best antenna pair.
