You can extend the range of the remote lock by holding it against the bottom of your chin, when you push the button. My son told me about this and I was skeptical, but I tried it with my G35 and it works. It may work because you body acts as an antenna.

 

This is true, try it!

 

I can vouch for that too. It works.

 

It works with the remote to the TL and teh 4Runner. Very cool. The remote to our 04 Runner has more range than that of my freinds 05 G35. Weird huh..

 

Are his windows tinted?

 

Also works if you just touch it to your forehead

 

I use the trick too!

 

it works with most remotes. it works with the remote to open the gate for my commuinity. my cousin told me about it today and we can open up the gate from like an extra couple hundred feet away.

 

Heck....I have been doing this since the 80's and clifford alarms! Does work!

 

man...i know it really works....but i don't want to look like an idiot in the middle of the parking lot...point the remote at myself....=)

 

Also works great when in your pants pocket (that, of course, depends on the person).

 

Don't want to look like an idiot with the remote on your chin? Take the remote and cram it up your, well, you know. Extended range AND you won't loose it as easily! ;-)

 

lols i never knew... are there any other less conspicuous ways to use urself as a "extender" ? lols... could u just point it at ur arm or something instead of chin?

 

Can anyone explain the science behind it?

 

The throat area is an amplifier of sound and also has an effect on the radio waves emitted from the key fob.
