Try this to improve remote range... Posted by robin [Email] (#2944) [Profile/Gallery] (more from robin) on Fri, 17 May 2002 17:36:36 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've got a 2001 SE Convertible and have been unhappy with the limited range of the key/remote combo... in reading over the various posts i noticed a couple of folks mentioned that the antenna (at least in the convertible) is under the arm rest/cup holder... well thinking back to my old TV/rabbit ears days, i decided to remove the cup holder/coin slot contraption and stuff the center hold with aluminum foil (i got rid of the rabbit ears when i got the Dish)...
i haven't done any scientific tests (cause that might prove it doesn't work), but it certainly _seems_ like the remote distance is much improved, especially if i hold my key up in the air (not under my chin)...
if you don't use the center console storage bin/cup holder (i don't since i opted for the sliding arm rest which has a better storage bin) this is a pretty cheap 'mod'...
i'd be curious as to anyone elses experiences...
cheers!
