Default Remote key antics...

After a previous post on extending the range of the remote by pressing it against one's head when using it (!!!), here is what I found out tonight:
1. It is true (at least, when used from a position directly behind the car)
2. I get more range if I turn the short side with the keyring towards the car (opposite to what I have naturally been doing till now)
3. I get the most range when pressing the remote against my cheek AND turning that side of it towards the car (maybe also aiming it high)! I get maybe 100 ft.
4. Although I am a physicist, I have no explaination for it yet.

So, experiment and post your findings...

Default More antics...

After "reintroducing" both of mine to the car, niether will open the hatch. The doors work fine.

Any ideas?
