Limited range... Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:13:46 In Reply to: remote issues, jhutton, Tue, 20 Mar 2012 06:41:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
You are aware that the 9-5 remotes (all of them) suffer from a very limited range? Also, depending on the angle you approach the car from, the range differs somewhat. In most cases, if you're more than 10 feet from the car, it's less than 50-50 that it will work. And sometimes, even within that range.
Not your typical American car where you can unlock it and start it from inside the Mall!
Interestingly, in the 9-5 features CD (audio - you play it in the car) that came with my previously owned 2000 9-5, they tout the limited range as a "feature" designed in for safety...
