    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.

    Just got an 04 GTS that didnt come with a remote. Just a key. Is it cheaper to get an alarm with remote to unlock /lock doors or Auto starter or get a key/remote from the dealer? If so how much $usd , thanks

    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.

    This should help you, the only difference is that a 9g the key needs to be on.

    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.
