It's not as if it is that far... Before I did the quick mod yesterday, I was lucky sometimes if I could lock/unlock it from 5' away - especially from 'blindspots' to the original antenna location. Often I had to push the button several times and walk around the vehicle.

So, in my case it isn't so I can open/shut it from 30' but so I can open/shut it when at the vehicle.

ALSO, often our kids will be at the vehicle waiting to get in and I'm still in the garage putting on shoes etc. Only like 15' away, but the stupid thing won't unlock until I'm right next to the vehicle.

So, in summary like most things - if you find the operation of something irritating then it isn't operating the way 'you' need it to, i.e. horses for courses...

cheers,
george.
