Transmitter range (remote keyless entry) V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Nathaniel Beck on  Sun Oct 29 05:39 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi

While I have been extremely happy with my new 2001 T5 (helps to be comparing to a Taurus wagon), the remote keyless entry is annoying. (Why you cannot confirm that you locked the car by hitting lock again is beyond me. My wife's Acura will happily beep to tell you the car is locked as many times as you ask.)

But the issue here is: what range do people get on their remotes. I seem to have to come to within about 15 feet of the car to get the lights turned on. This makes the remote useless for finding the car in a crowded parking lot. If this is typical, then such is life. If not,then I will complain to the dealer and get it fixed. Or if others have had this problem and fixed, how did they do so.

Thanks much

neal
