It's the car. The antenna is hidden under the seat or under some body panel thats blocking the signal. You need to find it and extend the antenna wire. For some reason the location is different across the model years and generations, on the b5 alone there are three locations. I've done it on my b5 with great results. I have no idea where it is on your b6, nice ultrasport btw. Search the forum for "remote range increase" or something like that.

On the B5 there is no range at all so I went ahead and added about 4ft of 18 guage wire to the end of the current 4" antenna and it has given me much more range. Sorry if I didn't specify earlier, I was kinda excited there.
I basically followed the DIY that 2k S4 had posted up a little while ago and it has worked wonders. I would highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't find the range to be that great on their remote.
