If it will work from 70/80 yards then you have no chance, unless you live in a huge palace, and who remembers to put them in a metal box every night !!

Completely agree on why the signal needs to stretch that length. Worse case for me was when I was in a block of flats visiting a family member, 3rd floor and at the rear of the building when somehow I must have pressed the boot release button in my pocket. Car was on the other side of the road as well, had a few walls etc between where I was and the car.
It's only until getting this case and waiting some time before I started keeping things in the boot!
Got one of those RFID pouches where I keep my keys in when at home from Amazon. Annoying though the measures we have to take these days...
