Increase keyless range?
I replaced the battery in my key and the longest range I have is 10-15 feet. How do I increase the range of the keyless entry?
Any suggestions?

Yes, the chin thing works somehow.
Anyone know the science behind this? I'm amazed and stupified.

Your head becomes a large antenna--seriously. Hence why you get a longer effective range with the same remote.

Chu, i don't know if you were being serious or not, but no joke, the chin thing works.
If that doesn't satisfy, get a remote start, the viper's got some long range.

i just read an article that says that really does work. they also had a video. i guess your skull cavity acts like an antenna and increases the distance of the keyless range. amazing.
i think i'll just buy a viper car starter. thanks kenkaniff
