Anyone else have poor range with any of the BOA remote starts they have installed? I'm hoping its the battery in the transmiter. At first i had about 175ft range and now its about 30 ft (weather dependent) and when it rains i get horrible range like 12 ft. Anyone else have these problems?

these units in all honesty would work best if u had a factory keyless entry with negative locks or positive locks w/ relays... just hook up the lock wire to the negative activation input and hit u lock button 3 times.. bam.. remote start... plus u wont have to reprogram the damn thing if ur battery goes dead...
