This is actually a feature -> you cannot easily run through a parkade trying to open a car at a distance so its easily spotted, and the code is not strong so its harder to detect and clone by thieves.
I know what you are saying. It's just that for a lot of people less than 5 feet of range is so different than what we are comfortable and accustomed with the newer cars.
If we can duplicate the range to about 10 feet I think most owners will love it.

My remote battery lasted 5 years and I really don't understand why some people change batteries every year. The only time I had to fiddle with it is because the "prongs" from the circuit board to battery "widened" and had to bend it back a bit for better/consistent power source contact.
The range doesn't bother me as I prefer to have a close range for the car. Only time I wish range is better is if I forget to lock the car and have to walk all the way back. I only have myself to blame for that.
Wouldn't it be great if there were an "On-Off" switch such that you could by-pass the Immobilizer, i.e., take it out of the starting process when and if you wanted to do so?

The Immobilizer replacement is almost ready and YES, it will have some new features that we are still perfecting which will include turning the alarm system ON and OFF by a switch!!!
Another thing that will improve is the range at which the fobs will be effective.
