I came back from LA last week and was staying in a two story walkup in Santa Monica, on the 2nd story. I was driving a 2015 F150 Lariat with remote start. next door to me was a 2 bedroom apartment. I was able to start the truck from inside my apartment, and the signal had to go through a whole lot of concrete and rebar.Remote start is a different (active) function of the key fob than keyless entry. The manual states that the range is much greater on remote start. Keyless entry, I believe, relies upon passive RFI but the auto manufacturers implementation of it seems to have a massive security hole as has been noted.
Is the signal that strong? If so, thats a huge issue to me.
