Well i have the credit card looking key, but it doesnt have that much range.. I think only like 10 to 15 feet.. Is there any way of increasing range other than buying another alarm system?

Put your card under your chin when press the button...it helps since you can use your jaw as an amplifier of the signal...

It really works. I did that in my VW ....

Have you replaced the battery? My 04's remote goes about 50 yards if nothing is in the way.

Yeah i replaced the battery.. Still nothing.. Do u guys also have the credit card key?? Or the regular one?

Height I believe plays a part. I use to set off my car alarm from like 10 stories for ***** and
giggles. A fresh battery should help though.

yea mine is the same...but I never use the remote. I just press the buttons on the car to unlock

Hold it up to your skull, you can easily boost the range by half

my ******** amplifies it

i may be a little paranoid, it but if you are amplifing the range with the fluids of your head in the long run is like sticking your head in the microwave

Not anymore so than being surrounded by cell phones and other wireless devices all day long. In fact, the key's wireless waves are significantly weaker than those radiating from your cellphone when you hold it up to your ear, or those of a wifi chip in a laptop, etc

just another device to add in. i ve always rather text for that reason

Whether you're texting, on the phone, in your house, cell signals reach pretty much anywhere, thus you're always being bombarbed by these electrical waves. One device more or less won't make a noticeable difference

no, i have an 05. i have the pop out key.

Rems31

oh ok...it would have been nice to clarify that for the OP :-P
cuz the short range for the credit card key is normal...

BLIPY

oh thats better.. so its normal.. okay..
