Just try it once for real out in the parking lot. You will be very surprised.

Try what?
Aiming it at your head or holding it higher?
I've also heard that it works well if one does two pirouettes while pressing the button.

Doesn't have anything to do with the fob being higher off the ground and the transmitted wave doesn't have to go through <multiple> cars in the parking lot? Radio waves going through metal get reduced. Just hold the fob up in the air, not at waist level.
Nothing to do with foreheads or temples........
simply holding the fob higher.


I’m shorter these days. Used to be 5’7” now I’m 5’4”. Most cars seem taller than me.

Yea, I think I'm shorter also.
When the Dr.'s office asks my height, I simply reply "I used to be 5'10".".
They chuckle.

As I said before. It works with a clear bottle of water as well as the fluid in the brain. It's nothing to do with battery performance or height above ground. The liquid enhances the range of the fob. I don't know why but I also don't know why people need billions of dollars

This made me laugh. "You can extend the range of your key fob by holding it against your chin. The fluids in your head act as a conductor, and your body becomes part of the antenna."

Is that something you really want to do? Send a signal into your head and then relay it to your car? That's a good scene for a comedy. What could go wrong? 🤣

I can see some Darwin Award candidate trying to power other devices with his head. "Because of the extensive damage to his head, not even dental records were able to identify him."

There was an episode of the TV show "Major Crimes" a couple of years ago where one of the main characters, Det. Andy Flynn, did this very thing while searching for a victim's car in a car park. Everyone got a chuckle out of that one.

The version that I’ve heard is that the signal travels further if you aim the fob at your forehead because it bounces off the bone and is magnified. Of course, that means that it works better with many women because they’re more hard headed!


You are a brave man with that comment.

On a scale from 1-10 she's a 12.she walks up to Joe and John and they just stare at her.she says ,"you idiots ,it's me jim.they recognize his voice.joe-sit down Jim and tell whether the implants hurt.jim- no .it was a breeze and by the way it's Jill now.john- did the surgery down there hurt.jill- all that was a breeze too.joe - So of all the stuff you went through we would like to know what hurt the most.jill- after I woke up what hurt the most was that 19 guage needle they stuck in my head to suck out 1/2 my brain to make me a full woman. Ok ok so you want a different verion.jill- after I came back to work my pay was cut in half for doing the same job I has doing as a man.
