I've noticed that I can open my garage door from about 1/4 mile away with the HomeLink doo-dad.
BUT....
My goddamn key fob will only work from about 10-20 feet away.
Is this some sort of funny little joke that Audi plays on it's consumers? The HomeLink antenna must be 10X more powerful than the POS they use to pick up the key fob signal.
that's all...

What always worked for me was to hold the remote right under your chin...uses your body as antenna.
Doing that, I could pretty much get 3x-4x the range that I'd get using the fab normally. Try it; it works!
