Mine is called a valet and it does the same thing. Never bothered me, though. It might bug a few of my neighbors early in the morning but oh well. I have yet to replace a headlight so I really haven't had a problem.

The sucky distance might be due to battery need in the remote. Try touching the remote to your chin when you activate it. Works for me. I can actually start my truck in the Invesco Field parking lot from my seats on cold weather Bronco game days that way.
