I don't quite know how this works, but it does..

Press your key fob against your chin and whistle while pressing the key fob button. It will increase the distance like no other. I've serious locked and unlocked the car from far far away by doing this.

p.s. I see that Cux350z uses the similar method!! You gotta whistle!!

^yes, i think all of us know this trick by now...as i said though, it only gains me a foot or two. i find it stupid that i can't get more than 15feet away from my car to lock it/unlock it.
