Hey Guys,
Just saw something VERY interesting on Top Gear regarding remote locking/alarm. Keep walking back from your car, opening and locking your car as you go. When you come to the point where you are out of range, stick the key on the side of your jaw with it facing upwards. You should find that you are now back in range. I've just tried it & it worked for me, very strange... |

I know why...its very simple.
Your brain / body is like 70 or 90% water. Water acts as a conductor, and amps up the signal. Pretty straight forward, very funny though. |

Has anyone tried it through a phone? I've heard it lots of times but never remember to try it for myself...

I dont think its that the water acts as a conductor and amps the signal. Its the fact that your mouth is like a cone and the signal is being focused into a direction. Much like a satellite dish.
