How to Instantly Increase the Range of Your Car's Remote Key

in #car7 years ago

You're at the mall and you're looking for your car in that endless, massive parking lot. Or you went in the house and forgot to lock your car, but you don't want to go back outside. Has all hope been lost? No! Here's a simple way to increase the range of your car key remote:

Point and bring your remote key to within a couple centimeters of your chin; then press the desired button on your remote. Voila! You have extended the range of your remote by at least a few car lengths.

The reason this trick works is that the body is actually fairly electrically conductive, so when you point the remote at your chin the radio frequency electromagnetic radiation couples to the body which acts as an antenna, thereby increasing the range of the signal.

Happy car unlocking!

Sort:  

It works better when you open your mouth and point the remote inside your throught.
But the best is using your brain as n extender, by holding the remote against your head... I promise this works the best, I have tested all the techniques.

well, maybe my brain the the best extender while someone else's private parts might be the best conductor :P

Nice tip! Like you said, it's worth trying different parts of the body (especially the upper) to see what works best with your particular remote. A guy in this Stack Exchange thread did an experiment and claims that his temple worked the best for him.
