One of the few useful posts lately. This is an old trick, but it works. I have used it many times with many different vehicle remotes. It will substantially increase the effective range of a remote. By exactly how much? I have never gotten out my tapemeasure to get exact numbers, but I would estimate from experience somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to 50 percent increase in range.
