- On this Video I will testing and showing you 6 different Car Hacks that will Extend and Increase the Range of your Key Fob.
We will be discussing very briefly how a Key fob or your keyless entry actually works. From there I will be pointing different ways to increase the range of your key fob, both physically (by modifying your key fob itself or by modifying and your actual Receiver and by finding good conductors to increase the range of your current key fob.
Fist we will test a well know Car Hack that has being around for quite a while, then we will be implementing 5 different and additional car hack that will increase the range of your Key fob.
All test we have done were completely successful in increasing the maximum range my key fob was emitting.
Do take in to account that all results may vary do to a variety of conditions.
Some results may be more or less than what I have tested. Yet none the less, any Car Hack you decide to try will definitely increase your own car key fobs range 😁
Hope you guys enjoy this video!

damn before watching this I was never able to remote start my car from my bedroom. I grabbed a water bottle and aimed my keyfob towards the vehicle and it started my car! And consistently! Thanks for this!
Man I thought I answered your comment, the same day I wonder what happened 🤔.
But man that's great!
It definitely comes in handy.
I love hacks like this.
I'm thinking of doing a part 2 to this in the near future using different things but we'll see how my testing goes.
Very well done from audio, video and content. Thank you for explaining the science behind each hack.
Thank you Ray 👍
And Thanks for Watching 💯
My guy is dropping knowledge 👍
For sure man, i discovered some cool tricks testing this out. Truly has came in handy.
Wow!!! You get a thumbs up just for the head thing. I went out and tried it, and damn sure it works. Lol. Hilarious!!!
Isn't that crazy? Try the Gatorade when you get a chance, it gives you even more range. And if you wanna have a good laugh, try 2 heads at the same time together 😂
Really great explanations, information and test demonstrations. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and time with us.
The explanations are mostly incorrect science.
Thanks for sharing, crazy how holding the transmitter next to my head triples the range of my camry key.
Omg puting it by my head really worked. It never would work in the house before and if I put it by my head it works
Excellent. Thank you 🙏
Have you ever tried this on a very humid day or a rainy day?
In theory, I think it should also give a better range since the atmosphere is saturated with water. (I'd try it out but I have a very old car that doesn't have any of these fancy stuff)
Good video, good presentation. Awesome.
Thank you Birenda. 💯👍
Your suggestion is worth a shot. 👌
I live here in South Florida and is really humid pretty much all of the time. But I have never tested it and see if there is an actual difference when its raining. Gotta try that one of this days.
thanks man it worked
Nice 👍
Brilliant!
Great video you saved me thanks 🥰🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍😍😍😍
Glad it helped you
Thank you for your support 🥳
👍
Awesome 👌
It really comes in handy. 👍
Buy a prestige alarm system with a one mile range …. Or a compustar system with a three mile range … Nam Jamaica
Jesus, God, I loved this! What really worked the best for me was getting "higher" because I didn't care at that point if my car remote worked or not.😀
Great scientific curiosity!! Could be a good school science project
Wow, this is awesome 👌
Try it out, its great. 👍
@@CrazyCarMods I will, I currently have a 2009 335i xDrive.
Oh nice 👍
My car got stolen and I went up stairs to see if I could turn the panic alarm on and it work I’m crying happy tears thank you
Wow, sounds like you where watching your car being driven away 🤯.
That's crazy. I'm happy for you. Glad it worked out 👍
It got stolen and then parked a few metres away from where it was stolen???
@@justinphoenix21 it was found 11 miles away from where I was pressing the panic alarm upstairs
This is a crazy story. I happy for you Deanna
Love this content. Question for you. Are there any known adverse physiological effects to using your head to extend the range of a key fob?
The RF energy (or radiation... ooh scary!) from things like cellphones, Wi-Fi, RF remote controls, etc. is "non-ionizing". That means it is too low in energy to dislodge electrons from atoms. This is very low energy, and you're pretty safe with that. The radiation levels you're exposed to from just walking around is actually significantly higher. The radiation from things like microwave ovens (if you're *inside* one), radon gas, some cosmic rays (gamma for example) and sunlight, and even the light from your desk lamp are "ionizing" and have enough energy to do damage, through heat and other means.
I like the head trick the best as I always have it with me
🤣🤣🤣🤣 phone ✔️ wallet ✔️ keys ✔️ head ✔️
@@danielholmes2416 😆😂🤣😂
If you’re at 80meters Thad better hurry up because someone could get there before you. I can’t imagine needing my car unlocked while I’m that far from the car.
You got 1 subscriber 🥰🥰
Thank you for the support 💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥what about the added antenna one? Or did I miss it
GREAT VIDEO! I would like to add that the key fobs are just fm transmitters. They are line of sight whereas am is not. It’s terrestrial and thus on clear nights one may pick up an AM station over 100mi away. FM requires line of sight and thus when you got up on the balcony you became an FM antennae and thus increased distance. Why I never thought about using my head as a damn conductor-idk! Haha! Wait. I have a shunt that drains excess fluid off my brain. I wonder if I can beat your distance? Seriously. Or maybe it’ll be worse?
Yes Am frequencies travel farther. If you where to try it. In theory you should get more distance. My girl and I where messing around while recording and thought. Would 2 heads together increase the distance over one head? And it did 😂.
We didn't test out how much more but it worked. It was funny 🤣
Back in the 70s, living in the L.A. area, I used to pick up Wolfman Jack coming out of a radio station in Acuña, Coahuila Mexico. The station was XERF and everyone called it The X. They broadcast with 250,000 watts on the AM band across the river from Del
Rio Texas.
Stations in the U. S. were only allowed to broadcast maximum 50,000 watts daylight hours only. At night they had to drop down to 5,000 watts, the same as now. But not The X! Needless to say, The Wolfman walked over all stations at night. It was amazing. ZZ Top did a song about it "I heard it on the X".
Always use fresh batteries and clean the the contacts for the battery with some good isopropyl alcohol to get as much power out of the battery as possible helps a lot, pockets and purses are nasty places for the remote....
Great point, thank you for sharing 👍
You should have added your neckchain, and tried it against that or try a belt buckle.
What about mixing copper, salt and water in the small empty Gatorade bottle?
Stock oem alarms on Ford is really long. I do car deliveries & Ford is no joke.
tldr ? can anyone resume tests and results ? (just now that i wrote : look at the table at 12:00 ) so, head and bottles with liquid increase the 33original to about 47 . and height increased to 80
Did this guy really said that the head trick works because of atoms in sf?
🤨
Also, having a fresh battery in the keyfob gives better range.
Loved this, straight to the point and educational- thanks for sharing!
I use the head since the key fob exist lol the neck near the hypophise are is the better place
It always works 👍
How can moving 1 step back increase the distance by 1 meter? You are taking about 1-foot?
If you notice roughly on minute 7.22 I have markings on the floor, which I measured with an actual measuring tape. Also I am 6'2 and yes, every step i take is roughly 1 meter. I measure like this all the time to estimate square footage on a room. (I remodel homes for a living).
If you try it out, you will see that any method will most definitely increase the distance from your key fob.
Hope that helps, Thanks for Watching 👍
At the 7:23 mark you say you’re standing at 50 feet and then with the very next test at the 8:20 mark you say you’re standing at 50 meters. This could also be part of the confusion.
so now i have to put a key chain on a gatorade bottle and have big pocket to put them in
yeah, pretty much 😂
Just bring your head everywhere you go
Does it work with extending the range of a drone
You had me at "CSF is composed of atoms and molecules."
😅
How come I can never get any range when I’m upstairs in my home
There's something that may be interfering with the signal.
My niggahh!!!!!! This Esko
Lol should be named "how to get your car stolen. The easy way" 😂
no way!
can i put it on my bladder, there is a bunch of liquid there
Sure, just make sure you hold it in whenever you forget to lock your car 😂
car looks sick! I liked and subbed! We have a 335i on our channel too come check it out!
Just noticed your comment bro. for some reason I didn't get notified. I appreciate the love. I just sub to you too 👍
instructions unclear, filled my keyfob with water and now it doesnt work at all
No, its water then use the key fob 🙃
Lol! If you fill it with Holy water the results are out of this world!
How about an umbrella?
LOL !!!!
All true,
.except GRAVITY
..LMAO
Dude you will fry your brain by doing that I'm not joking Don't do that ever
What do you mean bro?
@@CrazyCarMods holding your key fob to your brain are you nuts that's an electrical current just like a microwave you got to be stupid to do such a thing stupid sorry but you can't fix stupid
Do you ever use a mobile phone dude?…….. Grow up!
@@annespacedroid you cannot use the Android phone or any device like that it sends a signal directly through your brain to connect with whatever it's turning on or off common Sense dude
You're nuts, dude. Or at least very misinformed. Sadly this kind of pseudo-science is very common.
🤔🤔 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
It's awkward to learn about science from a guy who looks like a bouncer.
looks can be very deceiving.
But we can all learn something from pretty much anybody.
Yeah...I wouldnt take it to heart as his "science" is grossly incorrect....
Yeah, people see me and have no idea that I'm a brain surgeon. Well, a few more practice runs and I will be!
@@757bene well yeah....that and the fact he's dead ass wrong about a couple of things and doesn't know the difference between atomic bonds and magnetic bonds. And that water is a horrible conductor. In fact pure water is an insulator. The conductors are particulates that are in the water, and make up a very nominal part of the composition. Hence why when electronics get wet, they don't always completely fail. So yes....him looking like more brauns than brains pretty well matches up with the pretty scientifically incorrect word salad he tried to impress people with in this god awful video.
Science... 🤣 Good one! "Gravity plays a major part in the radio frequencies of your key fob." Five years at Northeastern University and 30 years as an electrical engineer and this is the first I'm hearing that gravity plays a role in determining frequency. The internet is always good for a chuckle. 👍
So I happen to be a electronic tech myself, and my knowledge of radio I would say is probably above fair in nature
There are some things that I wanted to throw in here the idea of water in our head or liquid in this case does have some substantial meaning in this understanding he’s technically referring to the ventricles in our brain, which, of course, carry spinal fluid and radio waves are going to react Just like the water bottles I don’t think that it’s going to react in terms of being a conductor, but rather a reflector you’ll notice where he’s not actually holding the transmitter on the opposite side with the bottle in the middle. He’s actually holding it on the side or on the top or bottom just try to pretend that the radio signal is a light wave and yes, light can go through water, but there’s going to be defraction And light is going to become weaker
The other thing I wanted to point out Gatorade bottle claiming that salt is the issue here I can tell you that in fact, salt is a better conductor, however, radio waves are not getting conducted by the water or liquid in this case because if they were it would be working against the situation. I would more to believe that , and shape of that bottle is more in what we understand to be resonant or closer to resonant frequency in this case reflection and I would plain water in that Gatorade bottle to determine this
The rule here in radio waves is that line of sight. I guess up to 20 miles or so maximum is guaranteed to give you a straight shot of connection. Granted you have enough power to make the trip so when you’re on the ground radio waves are going to be absorbed or even reflected, but with loss off of the ground, obviously when you’re high up in the ground, you don’t have to deal with those losses, which is exactly why we put our radio transmitters on the top of mountains
Aside from all this to be somewhat educational and entertaining, especially putting the key fob underneath your chin with something that a friend of mine in college had shown me back in 1996
I have to also add that the only reason why certain situations with these bottles or even our body are able to seemingly extend the range of these radio waves is because there’s one simple rule regarding radio, depending on the element of antenna and it’s basic design there’s going to be specifications that determine Which way in which direction the signal comes out if you alter that and narrow that direction, it’s going to weaken the signal in one area, but it’s additionally going to amplify the signal in another area. This is all part of the design and understanding of different antennas that we make, so yes by blocking in one aspect, it can cause amplification in another aspect. It is very complicated but there are rules that describe this.
Sounds like a great way to catch cancer, nah bruh, I'm good 👎
Lets just not forget to lock our cars and problem solved...
@@CrazyCarMods Too many people choose to accept what they hear as truth instead of verifying.
@@CrazyCarModsthe experiments probably also work with a car starter which comes in handy when the car has been outside in the cold for a while
Not a valid video. Rf range has nothing to do with antenna length. Different frequencies require different length antenna.
Sounds like your contradicting yourself with what you just wrote.
Man.. there's always a hater in the bunch ain't it? Go away troll..
Sure it does, though in correct antenna design the length should be tuned to the frequency. So, to improve an antenna you typically increase the length in multiples of its original length. Not all multiples will increase signal gain, but if you know what you're doing, you can certainly increase gain by increasing antenna length.
First, water is NOT a good electrical conductor. This guy has obviously never taken high school chemistry. He starts out explaining the Gatorade science correctly regarding the "salts" but then completely shows his ignorance with the rest of the words - all of which are nonsense. Please for the love of physics, do not believe any of the "science" explanations in this video!
Water is a great conductor... Who told you such a thing?
Go fill your bathtub up, and then lets test your theory by dropping a toaster in it....
Almost all water on Earth is a great conductor. The ONLY water that isn't a great conductor is one of the forms of PURE water, like de-ionized, or distilled. Water purity is measure in some instances via Conductance, the opposite of Resistance.
Since most water is in oceans, lakes, streams, water pipes, it is not pure, and thus conductive.
Water not being a good electrical conductor is true in only a very small number of situations, and there's always some Physics/Chem 101 Gold Star student like yourself wanting to look like smarty pants.
You want to be a volunteer with pure water in a bathtub and then we drop a toaster in it to see what happens to you?
There is impurities all over. The minute you step in that bathtub that water is not going to be in its purest form. Not to mention the bathtub itself.
Distilled water in this test was still successful, you know why right?
Then why are we so very careful we don’t mix them? I was taught water is a conductor of electricity.
Yea this will sure come in handy when my car gets stolen out my driveway because someone could pick the signal up from a fucking mile away.
