Range of Keyless Remote
What is the range of the keyless remote? My range is not that good. I can say like 5 feet. Is it because my batteries low?

Batteries are really easy to replace. I have tried it from 20+ feet and it works fine. Btw, do both of your keys only work within 5 feet?

Funny thing I saw on the tv the other day was how a regular FRS-type radio can provide enough interference to prevent people from locking/unlocking their cars with their remotes. One scene showed how they followed an Audi into a parking lot and then started to transmit over their FRS-type radio which prevented the driver from locking their doors.

You may want to try the archives (using the advance search feature) this subject has been covered extensively on this forum. Did I mention extensively?
