Key Fob Signal BOOST!

bashby80 · Jul 24, 2012

Does anyone know of a way (or if possible) to boost the signal strenght on the OEM key fobs? It seems that my lock/unlock doesn't work as far as I think it should. I haven't measured it, but the remost start (DBALL) would work better if I could start it further away.

This might sound stupid but put the FOB under your chin with it pointing upright... It will give you more range..

I had 14 people outside the office last week doing this because they thought I was lying.. I made them believers

For some reason it really works

Agreed completely, I locked my Ram from about 15 houses away before and I was amazed how much difference it really made.

I've heard that helps, something to do with the shape of your skull makes it act like a satellite dish. Mine gets terrible range as well, and it's distance isn't consistent either, it fluctuates between ****** and ****tier

I locked my moms car from like 3 blocks away. Put it right beside my bottom retainer(metal) and it locked. I knew it was mine because I made that ***** honk 9 times

Soooo...basically I'm blasting a radio signal into my cranium? Jeez, and I thought it was just cell phones I had to worry about! :drool:

If I remember right, the owners manual says the remote start signal has a farther range than the power lock signal ???

EvanYJ350 · Jul 25, 2012

The RKE system allows you to lock or unlock the doors
and activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to
approximately 66 ft

REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter to start the engine conveniently
from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range of
approximately 300 ft (91 m).

Well, I guess I'll give that a try when no one is looking. Ha-Ha! My truck didn't come with the remote start stock, it is the DB-All system that you have to press the lock button 3 times to activate the sucker. Thanks for the tip!

damn, i don't know if i believe this chin thing....LOL

bashby80 · Jul 25, 2012

I didn't feel like walking down my block, but I tried my key fob out of range with it under my chin (looking ridiculous) and it WORKED! It's weird, so I'll do it when no one is looking or faking a chin scratch. haha. Thanks again, guys.
