Wow, that's surprising, the direct connection is as far as I know the usual 400mhz tech used in any bmw keyfob, ie not wild range.

My garage only has spotty 3g coverage but no keyfob range.

So the app can precond 9 out of 10 times.

Can you try what range you get from that key? is it the same range as the normal key?
