I currently do not have good distance control over my truck, if it is parked in my garage (my garage is a good 200 yards away from my house) I cannot control the alarm. Is the 5000RS FM? I want to get maximum distance out of it and really do not want to change it out since I really do like it. The antenna is mounted on the drivers side of the window.

Also does anyone know if I can use a remote off of the 5100RS? I like the looks of it better.

yes the 5000RS is fm (as far as I know) I have the same product made by asianwolf 8100RS (same as scytek 5100RS). I have great distance with it. I have the antenna mounted right below the rear view mirror. I do know that the reception is really bad if you are trying to go through anything that has metal in it. If you mount the antenna as high up on your windshield (and as close to the center as possible) you will get very good reception. I have yet to have time where I couldnt disarm my car from a far distance.

Agreed -- in general, I've gotten poor results by installing r/s brain antennae close to the A-pillar --> best results always from mounting beneath tint behind rear-view mirror.

However, you also have to consider RF interference, and perhaps the garage or something near the garage is preventing appropriate reception
