        That's what I'm trying to figure out, otherwise i would have already done it. maybe someone on here knows and can point it out for us?

          i have a feeling its under the silicone 101 thing, OR the antenna may be the arc thing going around the upper right corner with the solder points

            Those were the two places I was thinking, but I'm not sure which.

                i just pulled mine apart too i think its that little sqaure on the middle right because the thing with the 101 is DIRECTLY behind a button so i dont think it would be that but it could be

                  That gold square is one of the contacts for the battery, so i know it's not that. My dad thinks it's the curved line around the top right, i think he might be right, but i still think it could be the 101 chip..

                      You guys are never going to believe this.... but I've heard if you touch the remote to your jaw while pressing the button, it increases range. Dead serious. Only seriously tried it once.... and it seemed to work.

                        i know i do this all the time it does work. Right now my battery on my remote is dying and i keep pressing it and it doesnt work but when i put it up to my chin it works.

                          If you go by what the link says I believe it would be the brass or copper looking square. But very careful not to over heat this. Transmitter circuitry is very low power and can not take much heat. Because of the price of remotes, It would not be worth 50 feet max may be less.

                            :eek: Say WHAT?! This is the first time I've ever heard of this, and I'm not going to admit when I finally try it. It will most likely be at night though when no-one can see.

                              about 30 for the kit off ebay and 100 for the install but its hooked up to my factory alarm system. they had to disable my pop trunk button so now when I push the trunk button my car starts right up sounds good especially when I have my 3 inch cutout open
