Extend the range of the keybfob

I'm interested in following the instructions from this page:

http://www.instructables.com/id/E7XMJ34BEOEV2Z7VEP/

Can anyone open up the fob and identify the antenna for me? I'll post results if I can get a positive identification on which piece to soldier a wire to...

IMHO changing anything in the intelligent key to extend its range seems like a pretty bad idea, it seem it would also leave more time for someone with a little know how to get in and start your car with out your permission. I think I'll just leave my how it is.

You can extend the range by placing the end of the remote against your chin before and while you press the buttons. Just my personal experience being a tech.

I've heard this and was skeptical... but I'll be damned it works.

It will work even farther if you stick it to your tounge...... But you end up looking like an idiot.
