my remote sucks. i have to be within 20 feet to use it and i practically have to be in the car to get the damn panic button to go off. is there any way to make our remotes work better? add another battery or something?

If new batteries don't solve the problem I would look at getting a new remote because our remotes have a good range on them. As others have said at least a block away and I can unlock my car. Try Ebay, I think I have seen factory remotes on there before.
