Farther than that. It looks stupid, but if you need to limp along with a bad one, you can boost the range of the remote by pressing the end against your temple when you hit unlock/lock. Should give you an extra 10 feet of range

The owner's manual says the range can be as much as 100 feet. I know mine works much further away than 5 feet.

Or up against your throat area. It uses your body as an antenna. Most will not believe this, but give it a try. Stand just out reach of your fob, then hold your fob against head area and try. Dental fillings will increase your range also.
