I know the manual says 15 feet I think, but say, would it be ok ya' think if it was say, 6 feet away. Is there any way to tell that it's too close to the car, just hanging in the garage? My garage is not big enough to hang the key 15 feet away! I'd have to build a bigger garage!!!![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Any suggestions would be great, as I'm new to the LS, but have had a GX for 3 years but no smart key. Heck, I used to leave the key for the GX in the GX' cupholder in the garage.

Try these two tests.
Lock your doors and hang your key on the wall where you normally hang them.
Wait a few minutes and walk up to the door and see if it unlocks when you grab the handle. If it does open, see if will start..
I keep my key on the inside of the house which is about 15 feet from the car but it will not unlock or start unless it is within 3 to 5 feet. Although I still have the original batteries in my remote. Fresh batteries may make a difference.
