Won't start without the key fob being either (1) in close enough proximity to be detected; or (2) inserted into the fobgina.

I found that with fob in my pocket I can lean from just far enough away and be too far for fob to work, locking and unlocking door. Move an inch and it is range. So about a 3 foot range.

Strange, I can lock and unlock my car from inside my apartment, which is about 20-25 feet from the car.

Makes it fun to hit the panic button as people are walking by the car.

How do you press the button on the door from 25 feet away?

They are talking about the passive fob mode - where it needs to detect the fob in close proximity to work.

When I get out with the fob and the car running, it does beep outside a few times to warn me I removed the fob. I would hope it would start beeping when you drive away from the fob as well.

I have also noticed that.

I have also noticed that if my iPhone is in the front of the pocket and the fob is behind it it won't even let me unlock the door by touching the unlock button on the door handle
