Keyless entry distance.

Does anyone else have to be right next to their car to use the remote? I changed the battery but still have a 15ft max distance. Does any one know how to make the single stronger so it works past 15 ft. Thanks

put it next to under your chin and you get more distance.

my friend always did that with her TL, and i just LOLed at her. I think its a myth, how can that possible help extend the range?

u get more range cause ur holding it up higher than normal from hip level to chin level can make a little diff. so basically raising ur arm in the air and doing it should work even better. also it helps if you dont have alot of other junk in ur car that can interfere with the signal.
