factory key FOB range
Not really. My factory one goes far enough. Some ppl say to put the remote against the underside of your chin and that will maximize the distance. I don't know if that's true or not.

You can also use your wrist if you're out in a parking lot and don't want to look silly (hold it against wrist and again rotate it slowly), but I get better range using my chin.

The chin thing does work, but I've never found out exactly why! I have noticed though, that just raising your remote to chin level improves the distance, but not as much as acutally touching it to your chin.
When designing a remote keyless entry system engineers are constrained by limitations. They have to keep the remote small, so a small battery has to be used. And, since they don't want customers coming back for new batteries every 6 months they limit the power of the transmitter. It would be nice if it was a bit longer though, mine works at about 50', but I know of people who get less then 10' of range!
