FOB range

[LittleBeast]

Haha, yeah I did that mod while I was sound deadening the entire VX, but the FOB range is still not that great compared to others.

I think I've posted this around on the site before, and I can't remember who showed me this trick, but if you point the fob at your temple and press the arm/disarm button on the stock remote you can double and sometimes triple the range of your fob. I have NO idea why this works, but it does. Maybe your skull amplifies the fob's signal? I am not pulling your leg here, it really does work. Next time you arm or disarm the VX stand at a distance where the fob won't work, then point it at your temple and press the button again and see what happens.

I don't do it that often because I really never need to arm or disarm the VX from a long way away, but I'm sure that I'll give myself some sort of brain tumor in the long run. Guess the fob can't be any worse than my cell phone....

I'll second that...It really does work!
