Both...Yep, with brand new battery. I asked the dealer and they told me it's normal.

They are definitely lying to you. As Strange Mud says, get them to demonstrate with another car on their lot.

fobs are good for 100'?? I wish mine was.

I've always had to be within about 20' of the car ('17 Golf, non-kessy) for the unlock to work. It would be nice to have a longer range when trying to find the car at night in a parking lot. I assumed the short range when unlocking was some kind of safety related thing. The locking function seems to have a longer range, although I haven't measured it.

I had to replace the fob battery yesterday. The original lasted about 18 months.
