How far from car to unlock?
 

How far can you be from your car to lock / unlock it? I seem to have to be within less than a meter with my fob. Is that right?

A few other cars ive tried (Not a ZS) I can unlock from at least 5 - 10 meters.

Far is definitely not the best word to use lol. A few feet with full battery with all of mine!

mine was a few feet with a new battery in it but i have bought a new fob and works about 30 feet away now

Must be a MGR thing, cos all of my Rover 214's always needed you be within 5 feet, adn the Zed is no different. Must be a reason for it, the Transit I drive at work you can unlock from over 20 feet away, handy when we have 5 identical vans!!!

Yeah I can only get a few feet away with it even with a new battery! Its not a huge deal but could be annoying if you walk away to fast before locking it.

put the fob against your temple and it works further away don't know why it just does.
it was on Top Gear years ago lol

I will have to try that in the morning when I can be bothered leaving the flat again :-)

I tried this when on a meet with Ritchy and stephen, think mines was worse with tinted windows but Stephens was best when he put the Fob to his head to amplify the signal..
Now Im not saying Stephen has a big nut but I do think the empty space helped.
you can mod the antenna in the fob..

You are in Cumbernauld? You are not far from me at all. I am in Muirhead :)
