RE: 95 S6 Remote Locking/quattro coupe sighting

["Geoff Jenkins" <jenkinsg@pilot.msu.edu>]

I believe it's a 95.5 S6 thing. S4's and 95 S6's seem to have the 6ft range,
while the last of S6s have a 20+ ft range. I wonder if you can replace the
transmitter/receivers?

Geoff

94 S4, with remote locking to (on a good day) 10ft. On a bad day 3ft.
