My brand new '07 Maxima 3.5 SL has a limitation on the Smart Key. The actual fob has to be no more than 12 inches from the ignition switch in order to be recognized. The manual says the distance should be 31 inches.

I've changed batteries without impact. Any ideas? Anyone else have the same limitation?

Thanks!

I seem to recall reading something about other electronics (cellphone, etc) affecting the range of the smart key. Not 100% sure.

Yea your cell phone can reduce your range as well as a big radio station in the nearby area. having it in your back pocket can do the same. check your owners manual for more guidance. but try those first. hope this helps!!
