martyyn 2 Report post Posted August 27, 2009 People, My old touring had the IR remote. Is that something that all Jap imports have? Do the Jap cars not have RF remotes at all ? Also, does anyone know what the range of an RF remote is ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 27, 2009 Also, does anyone know what the range of an RF remote is ? Optimal condition with battery fully charged in the remote key (18 hours), 30m from back and front of the car, 10m from the side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know specific range of RF but is sure as hell way better than IR Japan went from IR to RF in around 2002/ish By the way, IR works heaps better at night ... due to less IR interference from the sun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
