    You're misremembering the 2nd generation. It had no text display on the main dash, and the multimedia screen didn't turn itself on.

    I just tried this with my 5th generation, and it worked perfectly. Awesome.

    My experience with the fob is a really short range of like 20 feet. Cuts the utility of it… Used to start my Cadillac from the living room. Can’t unlock it until I’m a car length away.

    if you hold the key fob to your head you can increase the signal range by using your body as an antenna.
