Is there any way to increase the range of a keyless entry remote? it seems like I have to be within at least 15 feet of my car to use my keyless remote, which is JUST under how long it takes me to realize I didnt lock the car, which means i always end up having to run back towards my car while pressing the lock button rapidly...

anyone know if you can buy a different one or something... i also want one that has clicky buttons... just because im picky and like clicky. is there a way to get a new one and programm it to your car? thanks!

next time you try to click the unlock button for a distance that is too far, try holding it against your chin and press it.

It may not work the first time, but try it a few times with in different distances and you should notice it will work.

I didn't believe it would work. But, it does. It uses your head as an antenna.
