Learning about Vehicle's Remote Key/Smart Car Interface Gave Me 5-Star Frustrations
As described, NOBODY at either the Ft Walton Beach nor Pensacola dealerships, service, sales, nor parts, knew about the minimum separation distance required between the vehicle and the remote keys. NOBODY TOLD ME to keep them XX feet from vehicle. I stored them 5 feet from car, as I have stored all keys for all cars going back 37 years. After 4 service visits, each one longer than the last, the final one taking 4 days and a loaner car, it was diagnosed that I needed to keep the keys 12 feet or more from the car. I took the extra step of putting both key FOBs in Amazon-sold Faraday pouches as a redundant measure.
