Speaking of remotes...

[thejimrose]

tyson - you can try to improve the range, the awful remote distance is well
documented. there are a few writeups on audiworld and audizine that address
this, and there was a TSB from audi on increasing the antenna range.

my 98's alarm brain is under the rear seat [i think] so i ran an extended
antenna wire up along the c pillar and along the top edge of the rear glass.
thinking that higher would be better. well it's not, much. i've read of guys
having good luck running the wire along the insude of the rear bumper. some
folks were able to increase range to a few hundred feet.
