Re: Increase the range of your lock key

I can't vid youtube vids at work but based on post #2 if this has anything to do with increasing the range by putting the keyless remote against your chin/face...then yes it works. I've heard about this over a decade ago and always used this method when I have trouble remembering where I parked. LOL!

Re: Increase the range of your lock key

I have actually tried this before and it worked for me. I have tried a coiple of tricks with the key remotes. I have also tried the one where if you lock your keys in your car with the remote in there to and you have the other remote at the house you can call who ever is at the house and they can hold the remote up the the phone and you can hold your phone up to the car and it unlocks your car.
