I don't know why this works, but it does

Next time you're walking to your car and you think you are too far away for your key-less entry to work, put it right up under your chin and hit the button. If it doesn't work maybe you actually are too far away, but if it does and you're suprised by the distance take it away from you chin and hit it again...my guess is it won't lock the car. I don't know how or why this works, but it does. You may have to mess around with it a few times at different lengths, but there is definately a difference. I'll probably end up with some kind of cancer because of this and it serves no real purpose or function b/c you still get in your car just as fast regardless if you unlock 100 ft or 2 ft away. Just one of those things that make you go ...HUH....HOW??

Let me know if you guys have success or if I'm off to the "place with the padded walls"

guess your body is acting as a giant antenna? I'm so cheap I still drive a '89 car, so I wouldn't know about keyless entry, lol!

Holy shit! I thouht I was the only person who ever did this.

My remote is kind of old and the buttons are worn out but if I put it up under my chin it unarms and arms the car without a problem.

it works even better if you open your mouth a little bit.

I don't know how I came up with it but I've been doing it for years. I'm glad to hear there are other people out there losing it like me.

At first I thought it might be amalgam (silver) fillings in my mouth upping the signal but my fiance is cavity free and it works for her too.

Someone should email that show "Mythbusters" on discovery.

this is true

this is true

one of my buddies showed me this about 10 years ago. i actually forgot all about it until now

Man, this seems a prime superstition for the Mythbusters team to take a look at . It's a great show on the Discovery Chan (I think?), that tackles similar stuff.

Unless it is dental fillings in someones mouth or something. That would be funny actually. <shrug>
