Worst keyfob ever

Worst keyfob ever
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.
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]

Re: Worst keyfob ever
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.

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

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.

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.

Re: Worst keyfob ever
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.
