Default Keyless entry.....this one works....

So after reading "another post on how you can use your cell to open door locked doors via the cell phone...ehem BS", I can say that you can increase the range of your remote by aiming your remote under your chin, opening your mouth and aiming at your vehicle with your open mouth, you basically use your body as an antenna.
Try it, walk as far as you can away from your vehicle and attempt to either open or close your doors until your signal no longer reaches the vehicle, now aim your transmitter under your chin, open your mouth and see what happens....
I've used it when I forgot to lock the Jeep and was almost at the entrance at work (1/2 block away), tried it and didn't have to walk back .....psst don't let anyone see you.....

This works because you are an antenna. You don't have to open your mouth for it to work, but it sure makes you look funny.

This is another reason tall people are better, our remotes work farther away.

This one actually does work with most remotes. And yes, you look silly doing it. I used to have a friend who did this all the time with his Jetta.

This is an old trick that has been around for some time. You arent using your body as an antenna. Youre actually using your hair! If you have facial hair the range will increase dramatically...

I think it works b/c of all the filling in yo toofies!!!! I think the metal has something to do with it. If McGiver can make a bomb with the help of a chewing gum wrapper certainly some metal fillings can help a remote.

It does work though and it has been a known trick for awhile....
