There is a resistor in the communication module that you have to cut. Look on the side of the communication module and peel back ( but DO NOT peel off ) the silver sticker. You will see a small resistor there..... just cut so it is not connected any more, this will increase the range up to 2 times. Post your results. ------------- Jeff

Jeff: Yes., it does increased the range up around twice the oringial reception was.! But the fact is, the reception is now extended from one car distance to around 3 cars distance., WHICH,,, If I park my car on the oppoisite side of the street,. and try lock the car on this side of the street.,! It STILL will not work!. Is there any ways to extend the power of that thingy., by putting some booster or IC in? ------------- Timmy

Where is the alarm brain mounted? If there's lots of metal around it, it can seriously reduce the range. The driver's side kick panel way up high is often a very good place.

Where did you mount the communication module? What kind of car do you have and does the windshield have a tint on the roof line ? ------------- Jeff

Who sold you the unit ? You should be able to get warranty for this. Let me know and I will give your instructions on what to do for the warranty. ------------- Jeff
