I saw a thing on Top Gear Once, where Jermey Clarkson Showed how do this, he got to the maximum range with the fob in his hand.

Believe the next bit only if you want.

He then put the Fob against his head, and almost dobled the distance.

I take no responsibility for any brain damage caused.

its all about the cyrstal in your teeth as you can use a tooth and a length of copper wire as an antenna?! years ago there were problems with people with bad fillings picking up radio signals!! used the electro magnetic energy in your body and the fact that your jaw bone is very near the inner ear??


boring but true!!!
