Opening trunk w/ smart key. Duh.

Another value-added comment from SportOwner! No wonder your post count is so high.

More trying to understand his rationale (to try to learn something new) rather than convincing him he is wrong.

I did feel a little ganged up on. Just didn't want to say anything.

My remote works at a pretty good distance too, even for the liftgate. I can have the gate fully open by the time I get to it.

As far as using the request buttons, you have to be within reach of the car anyway.

Otherwise, low battery?

I don't have the power liftgate, so I can see why that would be a reason to use the key to initiate that as you are walking to the car. I'm stuck walking up to the trunk and manually opening it.

jk, was not intended to be confrontational in any way.

Someone else fought back on my behalf and THEY got a snide comment directed at them, so I will pass and remain silent.

What range? If you meant the SmartKey's effective sensing range, it is 3ft near every doors and hatch. If you meant the buttons on the keyCard, mine is effective from 20 ft away (at least).

Say from more than 10 feet away I press the liftgate or lock/unlock button on the remote key, it'll not work. It's especially worse if you are behind the vehicle than in the front. I tried a brand new battery and it tested the same.

On the other hand, my Lexus gives me a unbeliable distance like 80~100 feet operation range.

It is just my observation and a gripe about the smart key. maybe it's because the thin thickness?
