mark681 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I read in the manual that the remote works from 3 ft away. That seems really close, compared to all other factory remotes. Even my 94 Lincoln Continental's remote works from 30 ft away. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chargerucd Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 the range was very short on mine, but i just changed the battery(20 bucks at dealership) and that really added more distance. BTW, how do you change that battery, i removed the screw and could not get the top off, i didn't want to pry that thing and brake it. what's the secret?

mark681 Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Well its good to see that most people can get a range of 30'+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 With a brand new batt, my '93 works 45-60' away in an EMPTY parking lot (Or a striaght, unobstructed shot). Otherwise 10-30'. Range consideration is batt power. Equally as important is what kind of obstructions are around. Like mark said. On a really weak batt, you might get 3-10' from the car. Considering everything & with a descent batt life left. I would say 20-30' is a good, crowded parking lot figure. A couple to a few car rows away is a good average.
