mine sucks, maybe 10 feet at the most. Sometimes the trunk wont open standing right by it, I have to move near the drivers door. I mentioned it to the dealer asking if that is normal and they pretty much said bla bla bla(we dont want to take care of it)
lol I used to work at a subaru/suzuki dealership and people complained about how crap the suzuki remote range is and the dealers did the same thing. talk crap and try and get the person to leave.
i get about a mile (aftermarket lol)
Mine is about 10 feet aswell, but if you put it to the bottom of your chin you get a few extra feet lol, no joke
idk much about the 9g but on mine i got an autostart put in that unlocks the doors and trunk if its auto defentaly has a good range they say 1000 feet but probably more like 250
^^ Lol this is true.Quote:

I get about 30 feet on my stock remotes.
i get probably around 10 cars away since im always double checking if i locked my car
I can control my car even I'm out of the country :) I can lock/unlock doors, engine start/stop engine, open trunk, open/close windows, car temp, check location, check speed, arm and disarm the alarm. I can add more if I want to like on/off your radio, fold/unfold side mirrors etc.....
I get about 1200 ft
Pretty far, at least across the street (75 feet?).
Mines suck too! I was thinking on getting a remote starter put on...these winters in Jerz are killers!
I guess this should fix the range issue with the stock remote entry, and i could always come outside to a warm car!
anybody recommend any brands for remote starters?
mine like 2o feet,,but im getting remote start so hopefully it will help
What type of starter are you looking to get?
How's that possible?Quote:

The others, I've heard that when the remote battery gets weak the remote range goes down. I'm not sure about this, but someone might want to try it out. Also, if you are in a shielded area or lots of obstacles that can absorb radio waves are around, you might notice that you have to walk up to the car to actually get the remote to work.
i hate when the dealer always so lazy or try to ask for more money just to fix something so simple
Word up! The dealership where I got mines were trying to charge me $205 for a spare key! And them shits aint that good with range anyways! Lol
lol i know right we should make our own shit
I've tried two remotes, the dealer gave me the well do to electronic interference bs line... Maybe its apples and oranges but my 99 Ford minivan can be parked right next to the Galant and work from pretty far away with the stock remote.
mine stopped working i think it has to be reprogrammed anyone have this type of problem? too
You're right about the range of our remotes anyway, it is not as good as other cars. I've seen European cars with a much better range than the Galant. Anyway, I've never really had a problem with it, since it doesn't have a remote start, I always just open the car when I'm next to it (just a convenience not a necessity). But opening the doors from inside the building is impossible.Quote:

I remember when I was looking for the remote entry for a friend of mine, I found the one at best buy being the cheapest, $139 installed -

My friend's lancer, did not have the remote receiver installed and therefore was a lot more work to go to a junk yard to find a receiver and then get the Key/FOB, etc.
about 25 feet but for the trunk i must be like 3 feet away

With my stock remote, about 200 ft.
Damn, that's good, on a good day I got maybe 50 ft on my stock remote, on my wife's XL-7, she has a CompuStar remote start, it gets 1500ft (more than a 1/4 mile). It works too, but the range is shortened by walls and other obstructions.Quote:
