One of my friends with an Audi S4 would always hold his key up to his chin whenever he hit the unlock button for his car. I wondered why he did that and he told me it utilizes his head as an antennae.

Okay, now here's the trick -- I tried this up a flight of stairs, facing down to my car which was AT LEAST a football field and a half away. I put the key part in my mouth and pressed the button to unlock the doors. Lights blinked! Held it down and all the windows went down. People around my car quickly displayed the WTF face.

Very nice trick. I know a lot of people were complainign about the range of the keyless entry. Hope this helps!

 

don't give ppl idea on putting key in some body part and use it as an antena amplifier, hee hee that is sick
next thing you know,it won't be a cigar any more, Bill will put the key somewhere else and claim that is help to unlock his car =)


ho ho ho
anh

(I trust that you know who Bill is)"

 

You just knew? It was here while I was in high school!

 

I've found that the aluminum foil cone I wear on my head to keep the harmful rays out also works great as a key antenna......have to be careful which direction the cone is pointing though.........

 

Haahahahaha, I need to remember that excuse!!!

 

That's funny but, true. I have a couple of friend's that work for a mobile audio shop and they told me that when the battery is running low on your transmitter, put the transmitter under your chin and open your mouth and it somehow amplifys the signal. I know it sounds funny, but it does work.

 

man, i just don't understand those last few posts. but thanks brendan. so you put the key part in your mouth...did you close and lick the damn thing or just ahhh and unlock?

without intent, sometimes i'll put the windows down then remote start the thing and every so often some girls on campus will freak wondering what the hell just happened. had some scary things happen here lately, so it doesn't help them, but its funny to watch

 

Im surprised you never knew of that before. It works with all remote applications. All you do is hold the remote upto your chin or forehead, and walla, it works better and further!

 

Hey, don't make fun of me I probably have a big tumor growing out of my head now

 

don't think you need to open your mouth for optimal performance.

 

This thread just proves this is easily the best, most informative and most entertaining car club on the web!

 

For sure I never knew that was possible to do with the remote. I'm gonna have to try that...although my remote works from VERY far on its own.

 

no kidding...at the lexus enthusiast's website: "look what we could do with our keys and our heads" gotta love it here

lexrx,
mine used to work far, then slowly died and changing the batteries often barely helps. got tips like brendan's research has provided?

 

WOW, 1-1/2 football fields? The range depends on how many filled cavities you have. Brendan, been to the dentist lately?

I have a remote start with a range of 1 1/4 mile. People say wtf when my car starts up with no one in it.
