The only thing I have found is from Sharper Image. They have a
wireless remote location unit for about $50, but the range is only 30
ft. It's really meant to be used in the home or office.
Perhaps if you contact the manufacturer, they may have a unit with
greater range.
Use this link to see it:

From the website:
"Now You Can Find It!" Wireless RF Electronic Locater
#SI667GRY
$49.95
Always misplacing your glasses? Keys? Remote? Cell? PDA? "Now
You Can Find It"® locater puts a pager on all elusive
things!
* Includes four beeper discs to attach to keys,
glasses and other elusive objects.
* Press a button on the portable base and the
corresponding disc beeps loudly.
* Each disc attaches with key ring or double-sided
adhesive pad.
* Effective range of 30 feet. Includes magnetic
mounting bracket for base.
As an interim solution, if visual disability is not a concern, is to tie
or tape something unique to their car antenna that is visible across a
parking lot. Small flags, pinwheels, or streamers can be taped on
pretty easily since they have a "handle".
