I've done that with mine and operated it from about 25 metres from a 1st floor office window once! The wife's MGF is the same, she couldn't lock it from the front door to the driveway, so I put the fob against my temple and locked it. She thought I was possessed!

Don't they have different registrations - you should be able to read it at 67ft with 3.5" high letters!

MGR set the range as limited to reduce the chances of false unlockings leaving the car open, at a few feet you hear the locks opening.
If you want to remove the dash you can double the length of the reciver aerial wire and improve the range.

Obviously they should be different letters, but it sounds like you are saying they are a different format?

I said "different registrations",
not "different shape registration plates"!

A couple of feet before it works, although it seems better if you approach from the passenger side
