Extending keyless entry range
Extending keyless entry range Is there a specific wire dedicated as an antenna for the keyless entry,
if so has anyone tried to extend the range by adding a length of wire attaching it to the chasis of the car or just taking a surface mount antenna
like from DEI for an alarm and attaching it. I dont like the range
(I have already changed the batteries, checked the voltage on the fob and battery, reset the sytem and used diffrent remote so those are all exhausted)

i dont know about that but I do know of a trick. point the end of the fod up and touching the soft part under your chin right below your mouth. open your mouth and face towards the car. This will amplify the signal a little bit and give you a little better range. but you will look like an idiot doing it lol. I've actually tried it and it gave me a few extra feet

it's just the way our key fobs are, either deal with it or get a Ford who has about a 200 yard range lol. I don't see why everyone wants thier doors opened...faster and farther away from thier car, u don't need the door unlocked till ur opening ur door. If I wasn't scared of scratching my car with my key I'd unlock my car that way cuz it's less in ur pockets w/o the fob.

you cant extend the factory range... the chin trick does work but does make you look gay... if you want more range i suggest you look into buying a 2way unit from a company like viper which is sold at places like best buy... you could also add remote start , ake the aux your trunk pop and much more. I have considered loosing my trunk pop and getting electric cutouts and being able to remote start my car then open the cutouts... but as far as range you will need a new unit, touch it to tour chin or deal with it
