Title: Holding the alarm fob to your head makes it work better.
Post by: modulater on 15 November 2003, 17:01

I heard about this from a friend who had watched top gear. now being a cynical bastard I thought yeah alright what ever and tried it. It only bloody works.

Any one else tried it or is it me gone bonkers?

it was even in the manual for my old clifford alarm...

it only works for radio ones, and i think it uses your body as an aerial..

with the clifford on my old car i was able to unlock it from the top of burrow mump by using the chin technique... (its like a mini glastonbury tor between here and um.. the real thing..) 250 feet high apparently..

i tried this the other day, it improved the range of my fob from 10 feet (terrible), to about 40 yards.
