One thing thats always bugged me about the magna is the poor range of the keyless entry. Not that its extremely important, but my remote will only unlock/lock the car from around 2-3 meters away MAX. The remote and batteries are new. Is this just the way magnas are? Is there anyway to extend the range?

not sure man, but mine will be lucky to even get 2 meters sometimes...

I also have the same issue. Surely there must be a way to find the receiver and whack some rabbit ears or something. I have to sometimes be standing at the actual car to unlock it..

Yep, traded my 2004 ba on the Verada and there's a huge difference. I could unlock the ba from the next suburb just about :)
