Some time ago I read where someone claimed that they improved the perfomance of their remote by holding it close to their open mouth. Sounded completely bonkers, but that didn't keep me from trying it. And it worked! My 9-3 can be unlocked from across a small parking lot if there is nothing between me and the car. My Aero is not as sensitive, but it greatly improves its performance. Found out sometime later that this is called The Farge Effect. It has to do with turning your body into an antenna. Take a look at this link.
