That feature is done with IR which means the key fob must be pointed at and be within about 12 feet of the receiver (small square red plastic window on the front door handle). Or it's broken (either door receiver or the key).

only on one of my keys does the windows work well from about 3-4 feet. The other key i have to be 2 inches away. I do not know if it has to do with battery or key fob.

That's nothing!
If I place a cell to cellphone call to my wife while she is standing by my car, I could aim the key at my phone while she points her phone at the door reciever & the windows will open or close depending which button I pressed & held. could even pop the trunk - All via cellular!

occassionally i park my car near my building where the security cameras have a good view of my car. when i walk into the building near the guard station and i point to my car, the car will NOT unlock or lock. However, if i go around the guard station to the back where they have their monitors and i point on the screen with my car, the car WILL unlock and lock. i do not know why since i thought cameras are only recieving info and not transmitting anything through the lens.
well, it could be possible through cellular more so than my experience since the cell phone has both recieving/transmitting ends that are obvious to me.
Weird!
