Car remote + your head = extended range!

I’ve never heard of this until Josh told me (he used to install car alarms). I’m kind enough to share this helplful information. When you’ve forgotten and you’re not quite close enough to lock your car via remote.. try holding it directly under your chin, chances are it will work. I do this all the time now (though Josh thinks it might cause brain cancer like cell phones). The idea is that your head acts as an antenna to extend the signal. A lot of places I see online say it’s a myth.. but it works for me. Perhaps mythbusters can explain it.

It also works to open the gate in my neighborhood from the street rather than waiting until I get up to it. Bonus!

Position remote like so…
