With the X7, if I miss the tiny sweet spot from the street, I have to wait till I'm basically right in front of and angled towards the garage door.
I live in the forest surrounded by very large Ceder and Alder trees. I can open my garage door from distances greater than 700 feet away. I can't even see the garage or the house when I press the mirror button. The garage door is completely open by the time I pull into my 350 foot driveway.

Your situation is most likely a result of to much wireless/RF interference in your neighborhood.
