Put the end of the fob against your neck below your chin, open your mouth facing the car and press the unlock button. Test and report back how much additional range you get.
Just curious though, why do you need more than 25 feet to unlock your car? Are you one of those people who turns off the light switch on the wall and gets to the bed before the room gets dark?

Agreed, it definitely works. Put the fob next to your jawbone, I find I get the best range with it horizontal and the keychain hole pointing behind me. It just about doubles your range.
Do you look kind of ridiculous? Yeah. But if for some reason you just really have to have another 20 feet, this will work.

Yes, the fob should work more than 25 feet away. At least mine does.
