Also, panic mode is barely useful while trying to find your car in a busy parking lot since you got to be really close to the car for the alarm to go off.
With all my previous cars the key fob had a range of at least 100 to 150 feet.
Not sure if the key fobs are defective. Do you'll have the same observations too?

I consider it a security feature - if the transmission level is low, then the chance of thieves scanning codes is very low.
I guess I've never lost a car in a car park, but I'm relying on the Remote app to deal with that - flash the lights or sound the horn if I ever get that separated from my car.
