Re: Transmitter range (remote keyless entry) V70-XC70 2001

Hi Neal -

In some bad areas, my range is about ten feet. But I typically can turn the lights on from at least 50 feet away - even with the remote at pocket-level. The remote-to-the-chin trick is a winner to help increase the range in a pinch, but you should have better range than 15 feet if you're parked in the relative open.

I too, wish there was a lock confirmation. But I must add that at least there is a seperate LOCK button on this remote. On my Clifford alarm (that is otherwise excellent) you use the same button to lock and unlock. So if you're not sure if it's locked you have to press it and see what happens. More often than not, I'm simply unlocking the thing to make sure it's locked. Nothing's perfect...but somehow we get by :-)
