Makes no sense. If you really want to unlock from a distance, the IKey fob will still work just like any other fob.

I don't think the range is that far (for the unlock button on the doors and trunk), the sensors are on either side of the car and at the back. From what I can remember, my wife tried but couldn't unlock the passanger door even though I was right by the car walking to the driver's side door. You have to be near the door/trunk you want to unlock for safetly reasons. You wouldn't want some one to be able to unlock your doors while you were putting something in the trunk or something without you knowing.
