I always find this kind of fascinating...why would you want to unlock your car more than that distance?

If you can unlock the car more than a block away...couldn't that potentially allow others to get into your vehicle before you? And if you're in a busy parking lot like at a mall...someone could possibly get into the vehicle for nefarious reasons.

Also, some forum members have made comments about giving up the "springs" for the tailgate that can open it all the way as if you had the automatic tailgate feature...but they seem to unlock the tailgate when they put the keys into their pocket. If you are an owner that wears clothing that is fitting and could possible actuate the remote buttons when your keys are put into your pocket...you could also potentially unlock your vehicle in the parking lot while at work etc.

The above is not an insult to those that wear skinny jeans or tight clothing...I'm just at a point in life that the only thing tight I wear is compression garments that are designed to prevent swelling or busting something or after something has already burst.

Here's a link to a video that explains the "WATER" in the head/brain theory (I find it very interesting):
