By in progress 1167910287 Reply Spam [+8] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI want to try this with an FM transmitter I have in my car, sometimes we drive places in convoys of three or more cars, we can usually all listen to the same things but it can be hard sometimes. Do you know if I can safely do this to an iPod style FM transmitter too?
The video was VERY nicely made however. Much better and easier to follow that MOST tutorials on this website.
Just imagine if it were used in a parking lot in China. You will never find your car :D
By D3stiny 1167872124 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIf I unlock my car from 50' it relocks itself before I get there.
By Ver0 1167842847 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeuse it for locking your car then not unlocking
By god.favored 1208497189 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removemost cars have systems that if the doors are not opened in 30 secs they close again.. it will benefit though if you loose ur car in a lot..
By Creepy dude 1167746641 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit does work!!! i wonder if this is the same guy that posted the one for the t.v. remote control...
By .::Rahadamantys::. 1167312645 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeand soldered a wire coat hanger onto the antenna... it's a little chunky but I can unlock my car doors from 2 and a half miles away now... makes life so much easier ! Thanks alot Kipkay.

By dickflop 1167916670 Reply Spam [+10] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou are reallllly realllly funny
By wargunnerguy 1168094778 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removedo you need such a long distance, a thief could get in your car before you are there???
By KyBarnie 1167597962 Reply Spam [+8] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove..you could use it if you're in a house and your car parked up the road has it's alarm going off... you don't need to use it to unlock it from a long distance. I think most of us would realise that would be silly.
By honey-link-us 1167612225 Reply Spam [+4] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThanks! Now spend less time walking around and
pressing the remote to find my car.
this guy either has too much time on his hands or he is the new McGuiver, just search his vids, alot of usefull stuff
By Ashtonsantiago 1167583444 Reply Spam [+8] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeplace the remote to your temple of your head and click see if it works
By markgg406 1194316730 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat's not the antenna, it's a SAW (surface acoustical wave) resonator. Do a Google image search for "saw resonator" to see for yourself.
It's the part of the circuit that sets the transmitted frequency.
Antennas in key fobs are always etched traces on the circuit board. You can spot them because they are usually wider than regular traces and they don't terminate to anything.
Oh yeah, this is illegal as you are increasing the radiated emissions beyond what the FCC allows.
If you stop submiting videos I will kill you :D! 5 star!

By tr-derin 1201892105 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhat material was that wire, cuz I tried and it didnt work, so now the remote isnt working anymore as it worked before! Any help?
By Hollyweed1 1189093612 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei got a honda remote and when i open it up, i see 2 small flat surface things. one is about 1mm x .5 mm and the other about 2mm x 1.5mm ish. which one is the antenna? the smaller one is at the top and the other one in the middle (just a little above the battery)
By communistbk 1188099012 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveJust place the remote against your head and press the button. Works as well as this hack and no soldering is needed.
By snowythesniper 1187558228 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat is the oscillator for the radio circuit. How this helps I have no idea, but if it works go nuts.
By nicklinn 1185896645 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewifi oscillator is 5x2cm.
By tr-derin 1201892167 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveKipkay........tell me how do you come up with these stuff......... is your IQ like 120 or somthing or is there a website you playgerize and make videos about them and post them on metacafe??
By kenneth_rvd 1185806556 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI hate it when people say "you have too much time on your hands" when someone does something and is very good at it. So what if what he does is different from what you'd normally do... when someone plays guitar, piano, or whatever, you don't find yourself saying "you have too much time on your hands".. only when they find a unique way to perform it do these words come up. Give him props.. he's brilliant.

By AmericanDavis.com 1172828597 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeif a child wold play with the remote ... he can open the car and you won't know .... so it's better to work when you are close to the car, or even by accident you can open it from a long distance, and maibe you won't know
By the_real_uploader 1170192892 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removemy friend showed me a simple way to increase your range on these. simply put the clicker to your chin and press the button. it increases the range by 10-15 ft or so. I thought it was b.s. until i tried it and it worked.
By sonofabum 1168815964 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveMy stupid car remote keeps unlocking my car which is parked on ground floor... from my office on the 7th floor! The keys wud b in my handbag and i guess it unlocks the car when i bump my handbag against something.
Any ideas, Kipkay?
Go to your local hobby shop and buy a 4 inch by 10 inch sheet of white vinyl. Ususally supplied by K&S Metals and vened by the hobby shops. Cut out a section slightly larger than your keyfob and about the same shape with a pair of scissors. Punch a hole with a sharp tipped object so it can be placed on the keyring to cover the buttons.
By Wild Harry 1180234770 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI have read the above comments you have posted, stating about making money on Metacafé. Is this actually possible? Because I would be somewhat interested in doing so.
By jameswsparker 1168286088 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveMy car got ripped off before i got to it!! you S**k !!
By dickflop 1167916252 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHolding your remote to your head when you press it works just as well. Its only rarely that you need the extra distance. If mine goes off at night, it won't work if I hold it normally, but does if I hold it against my head. Try it.
By fitjiffa 1167739853 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove...but you don't feel just a tiny bit silly sticking your keys against your head? Even so, I'm going to have to try your "head method."
By jjlusa 1167770870 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit's better than having to put some clothes on, go downstairs, out the front door, round to the car and then back when I've been woken in the middle of the night. This way I can just open the window, poke my head out with the remote pressed against it and job done.
By fitjiffa 1167776767 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeputting the keyfob against your skull when you press the button. Actually uses your head as an antenna. Works a treat really, though I'm not sure if it'll gain the extra 50' that a wire antenna extension does.
To test - keep trying the remote whilst walking away till you reach the distance that it doesn't work. Take a couple more steps away then try again this time with remote fob against your forehead. you'll be surprised.
Kudos to Jeremy Clarkson for that one.
cheers
it works when the battery in the car remote is dying.
By cirene_my 1168344562 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI like your works good job
By human 2 1167574227 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removealso showed the range can be increased by holding the fob to your temple and facing the car, press a button
By MARK1992 1226678634 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI had exposed the end of the wire, but couldn't find an obvious spot to solder to (10-year-old remote), but when I just laid it inside, it helped. A full 2" blocked the buttons, so I cut it back to about an inch, and it still made a big difference, especially since its battery is getting pretty weak.
By RuLev 1191491039 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeur soo smart lol n also u should get some new vidoes too plz >< i love all ur vidoes >< they all helped me alot >< thx
By lovelifesaqi 1176923121 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePut the remote under your chin bone. Your head acts as a antenna. Lost my car twice, thanks to my chin, sounded the alarm atleast 140ft away. Beats the 20ft without my chin.
Please if you need further directions for this shoot yourself now!
He is like the man version of Martha Stewart.
By bluemoonshine 1167766438 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI have tried to boost my pc bluetooth but I couldn't locate the antenna. (it has its antenna inside it)
By phoebus16 1167594732 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewouldn't it work better if you striped the rubber off the wire first.
By bigred93 1168170650 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe insulation on the wire does not block the radio waves so it would do nothing. and the bare wire would short out the remote.
i would also caution anyone not familar with soldering from doing this or anything like this as you could easily damage the electronics. replacing the remote can be very costly many of thes remotes cost over $100 from the dealer. and it could be violating fcc regulations.
using a coat hanger works like 5 times longer
By bigzabuda 1167711266 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveCan you tell us one good reason why one may need to extend the range by 50 feet!!!
By anovas 1167652122 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveGot nothing to do on a rainy day? why the hell not waste 5 or so minutes doing this simple and effective technique... my mum loves the one i made her... she had her key and the spare i did it to the spare and gave it to her and she was like so what? i was like mum you always lose your car with this... you wont trust me... i told her and she tested it and loved the results. so i say why the hell not do it it wastes time is fun and effective
