Remote start range.
Has anyone noticed a short distance in their factory remote start range?
It seems like mine only works when I'm about 100 feet or so from the truck, maybe 150.
If there is a way to increase it with out installing after market chime in.
Thanks

I agree, mine has started at over 100 yards with a clear line of site.

I like the way you park...all the way to the curb, I'm sure it's to avoid door dings.
I do the same thing. It drives the wife crazy. She complains when I'm at the far end of the lot, I tell 'er we need the exercise anyway. LOL

I would have to agree with everyone else. about 100 yards. I remote start mine about 75 yards away, but I do it inside a brick building without a line of sight.

My experience has been 75 to 100 yards as well. I have not tried it past that range but when I come out of the airport here I always use the remote start during the winter months and I am always within that range and it has always worked.
