[s-cars] RF effective distance

[Mark Pollan]

Speaking of IR vs.RF, I need to be within approximately 10 feet to
unlock/lock the car with RF.  New battery, blah, blah...  How close do you
need to be?  Please leave the tiggler out of this.

Regards,

Mark
95.5 S6

Keep interrupting!  I'd love to know.

I'd also like to know how hard it would be to upgrade an early S6 from the
IR to the RF, having one of each (and guess which one doesn't work?).
