Default GM key fob Mod

Here's how I increased the signal from my Keyless entry remote 7x!
I could only lock/unlock my truck from ~5 feet. Now I can do it from 35 feet away.

Items needed:
Soldering iron
Solder
~4" wire

Here's the average distance for the factory remote (in my case).



The FCC has a maximum signal output that the manufacture must abide buy. Well, like Bieber F 'em!


Process:

Use a flat screwdriver to separate the two halves of the remote


The 2 halves & the buttons were little dirty.... Clean 'em up.



Grab your Soldering iron, solder & a short piece of wire.


Solder the wire to the area pictured.


Route the wire like this.


Put the two halves back together and test it out.

Any questions?
Thx truckin

i still need to try this on mine. sometimes i think it would be quicker just to use the key rather than keep pressing the button lol
