This sounds like it is going to result in some sort of weird cancer in a few decades.

Saw this on Top Gear a few years ago, I work for a dealership and use this method to find the car I want when the car park is full.

Works best if you press the end of the remote against your chin.
Been doing it for years.

Keyless entry remotes are great, but they don't always work how you want them to. One of the most common complaints is that they just don't reach far enough, and there's nothing more annoying when you can't remember where you parked. After all, what's the point of having "remote" entry if you have to be right next to the car for it to work?

Surprisingly, the key to fixing this is actually in your head. If you touch the remote to your head while pressing the button, you can unlock your car from a further distance. For even better results, hold it under your chin and open your mouth.
According to radio engineer Tim Pozar, you're essentially turning your skull into an antenna. The fluids in your head make it a good enough conductor to actually increase the range of your key fob.
Still skeptical? Watch the video below to see the trick in action.

To the people worrying about the health effects, simply standing within 100 yards of a high-tension power line exposes you to 1000x more radio energy than this, hell the AC lines in your house have a more powerful EM field than a car remote, let alone the radio energy you are exposing yourself to sitting in front of a computer monitor... There is literally zero health risk involved here.

It doesn't "amplify" the signal, it directs it. In a way it works as a directional antenna. Imagine for example how a parabolic antenna work and why it is used for with satellite comms or for radio astronomy

I can think of many other things to use my brain for other then an antenna.

Was just wondering if it amplifies it that much, is some aliens space ship alarm maybe going off in outer space?

also ppl that use their remote from too far a distance can fuck up the frequency range which is good because its usually pricks that use them from a long distance to show off!!

OMG ...works better under your chin, or your neck.

Been doing this since like 1995. Saw a friend do it, we asked him why he would do that, and he said I dont know, but it works...

Yeah, have known this for years.
