Range between car and key?

Range between car and key?

What of the range between the car and its key to be effective?

Our answer:

Hi Ayman,

It depends on the car and the key, but usually around ten metres. If you want to lock or unlock your car from further away, simply face the car and point the key fob at the side of your head and press the button. It sounds mad, but the sinuses in your head actually amplify the signal, rather like a satellite dish.
