Check the battery in your fob. Mine works pretty easy across our parking garage, by about 100ft or so.

It's the remote door un-locker. I would have thought anyone from the Twin Cities would have known that! Unless you are from St. Paul.(poke)

Works at least 5-6 houses down for me. Which is a good 300+ feet.

Well... I could give you the Asian definition. Hmm... =p
The range of my unit doesn't seem to be any less than the Acura one, so I'm not complaining. I remember the range of the remote starter that I installed in my sister's car was ridiculous (@ 350+ ft); I'm happy as long as I don't have to use my keys to get in and out. *^_^*

hold it to your chin when you press it. Your skull will act as an anntennea.

Specially those fresh off the boat... Im telling you the dork that decided to call them FOBs was the same one that loved to say FAB back in the 60's... Fukin A' Bob to Fuck Off Bob....I dont carry a pocket watch so dont see how this would be an ornament for a pocket watch...
And mine has pretty good range btw... at least 100 ft...

My remote works pretty well too, even from inside my house. Next time I'm in a big parking lot, I'll try the chin thing.

I think you mean like $1.50? (realistically it's more like $2.40~$2.60) I'd get rid of my MS3 in a heartbeat if I had to pay $15 more than a regular 3 per tank. ^_^;;

Yeah, seriously. Need to check the math, there, FrancoNemo. Premium is like $0.20 more per gallon, so even if you were completely dry, it would only be a difference of $2.90 per tank.
Of course... that's not figuring in the decreased fuel economy, but still.
