extending the range, viper 5701

ok as ckeeler said the advertised range is clear line of sight meaning the signal has to be uninterrupted. so of course the range wil e much less, because of the high frequency age we live in. lol'

So is your hand not part of your body ? why would holding the rermote to your chin be any better than just holding the remote in your hand? Same theory right? your whole body would be turned to an antenna because your touching the remote.  Maybe if your push the start button with your right thumb and touch your nose with your left index finger and hold your left foot in the air and wiggle your toes, you may get an extra 15 feet of range. 

And how many remote starts do not come in a complete metal cases?

This may work if you have a full metal case, but with a plastic case enclosing the remote,it isolates all of the circuitry.  

Wait .... what am I talking about... I am sure that this would not even work with a metal case either.

Lol, that's a complicated procedure for an extra 15 feet of range! 

I don't really understand the science behind it, but I've found that standing in the same spot, on some occasions when the remote will not work, if you hold it to your chin it starts to work.  I've also found that if you open your mouth slightly, like you're yelling at it, it gets even better!!
