Amplify your car remote with your head

This one’s for Meghan..

I found this snippet today in my random browsing.. it deals with whether you can boost your car’s remote key fob’s signal by holding it against your body (like up to your jaw, head, etc.,).

I first saw this demonstrated by Jim O.  I’ve since tried it on several occasions over the years with mixed-but-slightly-positive success.

Overall, I’d say I’m a believer.

Meghan doesn’t believe it – she thinks it only makes one look a little foolish.  And I can’t say she’s wrong on that point.

But I think even the car guys have discussed this on their program, and I believe they’re fans of the method..

I’ll probably keep doing it.  Who knows?  At the very least it’s like pressing the elevator button over and over – at least you feel like you’re playing a role in making the elevator decide to come to your floor quicker..

    Did you watch the video? There's no proof there, merely suggestion. As for a little foolish, note the guy demonstrating the open-mouth technique did not show his entire face… Wait, are you saying the elevator thing doesn't work?!
