Default This actually works - bizarre!

JC on Top Gear was saying how you can extend the distance of your car immobiliser by 50% by putting it up against your head. I assumed he was taking the piss, but as I was bored I tried it and it works. Wierd but true.

touch your rex's ariel whilst it's down - if you have bad reception - and the reception will increase.
body acts as antenna again i guess.

..or just put up your ariel...

yeah, i've been doing this for years, if you put it hard against your boney bit of your chin it works best as it transmits through your skeleton & acts like an ariel

Its because the US government has implanted everyone at birth with a transmitter in their heads. Its pure coincidence that it works on the same frequency as car immobiliser and garage door remotes
