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

[James Murray (QB/EMC)]

True Dat... But you won't get better range with the current switchblade,
you need to upgrade to aftermarket unit, same mod should apply. A Viper
210HV alarm works good. Attached is the "almost finished" write up that
George Kostiuk did on his UrS6.

James:

It appears that this mod is for the IR remote system found on the
1992-1995.
Not sure if the same applies for the RF systems found in the later
S-cars (1995.5-1997).

Even if it did work, you would lose the OEM transmitter - in Fred's and
mine's case, the switchblade.
