[s-cars] For key-rying out loud!

[Sean Douglas]

Fred:

You are correct, the receiver is under the rear seat, next to the battery.
Its inside some black foam and you will need to remove the battery to access
it.

I did the antenna trick, its seemed to help, but the range is still very
poor with the switchblade remote - about 10 ft.
