Key Fob doesn't work unless you're on top of the car
^^^ YES!!! thank you sir! I might try tapping the coil from the new remote in like this, do you think that would work? if I only connect one end?
I had a friend who is good at this stuff locate what he thinks is the antenna, just a 'trace' around the top half of the remote. so that is the transmitter, wonder whether i'd have better luck with this method or hacking into the trace and putting the coil in series there..... i think I'm going to try both, I'll post my findings!!!

Well I'm looking forward to testing it out, thanks again dude. I also plan to convert the circuitry so that I can use the actual remote housing for the 2009+ FOB. the old one looks like crap, I like the new style, so I'm going to use it 
Most antennas do only work with 1 wire. Im not sure if thats actually an antenna (The designation suggests its just a clock/oscillator), but antennas should be a certain length in order to function properly.
You could try one or the either, or both. You may be able to hit a sweet spot or something by doing both (no idea) However, antenna lengths are tuned for the frequency that they are transmitting. So Start with a longer piece of wire, press lock and unlock a coupe times, move back until it doesnt work anymore. Trim it, rinse and repeat to find optimal length.

Also, typically the casing on components like that are grounded (heat sinking, noise reduction) (Im assuming its a clock here) so he is essentially just tying that antenna to ground. So you could use and grounding spot, you might be able to find a more convenient one. Would be easy to check if the top of it is grounded with a multimeter.

Infiniti g37 all wheel drive
Figured it out
Seems like a common issue with a few G/Z guys I've talked to, but does anyone have a resolve for this???
My remote only works within about 10 Feet of the car. I have to be stupid close to it, it's incredibly irritating.
I've tried new batteries with minimal change.
Anyone?

Watch "How To Fix Key Fob That Is Not Working For My Infiniti 2010 G37" on YouTube
Basically just put the key in the slot on the left side and drive for about 2 minutes then the remote will start working from a distance again
