New key distance

Brand new key and battery for my 2002 carrera. Only about a 20 foot range.
I took it to the local dealer and they told me that range is typical for porsche.
WTF? 20 feet? Comments?

Are you running at full speed while approaching your car so that this 20 feet does not allow enough time for the door handle to unlock by the time you reach your car?

Sorry but your post demands some sarcasm.

Ever wanted to unlock the car from your front porch so your wife could get the groceries out of the car and carry them to the house? It is quite inconvenient to have to walk to the car to unlock it, stand next to the car while she unloads groceries, then relock the car and walk inside. What if there are 2 loads of groceries??? I now have to stand out in the cold and wait for her to make two trips?
