I'm not talking about an increase of 20 feet to 100 feet, but you can add about 10 feet or so to the range. It basically uses your body as a transmitting antenna. I know some people won't believe me, but try it out, it works!


yea ive heard of and do that all the time......it works but i dont really "need" to do it........i mostly do it just to do it......ive never been in a big enough parking lot with my g to where ive lost it....................ive been to disney world a long time ago and i feel your pain when you say you couldnt remember where you parked

Awesome. Now DonPisto, if we could only agree on the usefulness of a capacitor we'd be in business

Well, in regards to a cap, I think they are useful only if the electrical is up to par. If the electrical is suffering issues, I don't think a cap will really help all that much.

I know, I'm just giving you grief. We were going back and forth on a thread about them a couple weeks ago. Now if only I could find a nice broken amp to repair maybe I'd be able to test out the G's electrical system....

But I digress, back on topic!

I have a sedan and uh when I got the car I could be 5 car lengths away + and unlock the car..ect now I need to be one car length away. The Chin Method does work but I did notice the decrease in distance from now vs when I got the car.

Both my Key Fob's are the same, where is the antenna in this car for the remote?
