Love the car. Hate the keyfob. Worst I have ever owned. Works about 10 feet tops from car and not at every angle when walking toward car. Every other keyfob I have owned including on my current Jeep has at least a 30 foot range. I have had keyfobs with 60 foot ranges and higher (or course i'm estimating).

Oh well.

Or... do what I did and get an after-market alarm with remote start and 1/4 mile TX and RX range [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah distance does suck, but you gotta love the all window down feature on a hot day! Also I noticed the fob doesn't go off accidently, probably because of the short range. My wife's old dodge intrepid had a fob so sensitive and such long rang it was too easy to pop the trunk from inside the house. I ended up removing the trunk button to prevent it.

 

I have to disagree. Maybe you have a defective one. Mine has tons of range. I can unlock from a block away easy.

Mine also has limited range. Often do the chin trick to help it along. Perhaps it's the battery?

mine works fine. in fact, i usually leave my keys in my car (in my garage). i had spare set on counter. daughter was clicking it to make horn honk.

i thought i unlocked it. but next day, i'm in a hurry, run downstairs to take off, and freakin car is locked. gotta run back up.....

Looks to me like the issue was resolved on the 04 models.

Maybe it was resolved in the 03.5's because mine works fine. What I do notice is that a quick double click does not open all doors. I have to click it once then wait a second and click again but it works from quite a distance away.

I have a 2003.5 sedan and the range on the keyfob sux.

My range seems fine. I know it sounds dumb but maybe change your batteries in the fob. Even if your car is new the batteries might not be good.

My sedan is only 2.5 months old, but I guess it's possible the batteries are the culprit. Won't cost much to find out!

Mine is fine, at least 60' range.


03.5 Coupe - Black/Willow, 6MT, Premium, Navi, Aero, Sat

 

My keyfob works fine and has a good range, at least compared to the one for my Jeep (which works 80% of the time, opens all doors with a single press of the button 50% of the time, and has a range of about 20 feet 60% of the time).

My only complaint about the G35's keyfob is that the Panic button is way too sensitive.

Its actually the fobs die after a while, I noticed it on my maxima and the G, It used to work about 1/4 mile away, now its like 20 feet.

 

Mine is a 2003.5 and works great from at least 60 feet away!
