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 ?

Martyn, To my knowledge all ex Jap Beemers have shitty IR.

Don't know specific range of RF but is sure as hell way better than IR

Optimal condition with battery fully charged in the remote key (18 hours), 30m from back and front of the car, 10m from the side.

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
