In the meanwhile, I will continue to park right up against my house for best range...all 20 feet of it! (in reply to OHSEVENLTZ) Post #: 11

Because obviously the first one failed, i dont want to go through all of this headache to put in the same part, and after 2 monthes, be back in the same situation! (in reply to beckeruti) Post #: 14

Another thing is that my Tire Pressure monitor started actring up yesterday too. I hope this transmitter fixes this problem as well. I'll let you all know how it goes.

My chevy dealer said he ordered all three parts; installed them and the range at best is 40 feet. The remote did not work at all when I first bought the car in Febuary. The dealer does not no what else to do to get the 200 advertised feet the manual says. Any other suggestions? _____________________________ 2007 Black SS Stock (in reply to mwilkie40) Post #: 16

The build date on our 07 3LT is Feb 12, 2007- so it seems the new cars are getting the updated parts, I tested the distance -went to an empty parking lot- and walked across lot- and tried to remote start the car and simply lock the car- from quite a distance I was able to do it. Too bad I didnt measure it. (i should try with my GPS) But Id say it was 200 feet PLUS. Distance is a bit longer when you put the remote to your chin and press the button... try it... it works.

I went out to an empty lot. walked across to the other side- pressed the lock button- nothing- placed remote on my chin- and lights came on. Neat... So I turn on my Garmin GPS device- walk back to car while pressing the lock button- remote about waist level.... then lights come on... heres the distance. remote on chin- 400 ft. remote at normal waist level- 300ft.
