    Didn’t top gear show this 20 years ago?

    This works, been doing this for years. Since I fitted my TOAD immobiliser on my Vauxhall Nova

      I had a Toad immobiliser on my Astra GTE 16v. If I parked too close to a cell tower I couldn’t deactivate it! I’d have to push the car away from the tower before I could start it.

      Ancient? It’s only ancient since the legendary Top Gear trios did it first but other than that ancient cars did not have a key fob with buttons obviously…

      @@jeremyclares4851 Google says that’s from 2007. If that’s the case then people knew about it way sooner than that. We have had remote lock car keys since the 80’s. And as said above my dad showed it to me in the beginning of the 2000’s

    I’ve learned this from Jeremy Clarkson, and I was surprised that it worked!

    Top Gear demonstrated this with Jeremy’s empty head and it worked even further away. Folklore has it that it works even better with your mouth open, further increasing the size of the cavity.

      When the radio waves from the key go into your water-dense body, a ‘dielectric resonator’ is created. This increases the amplitude of the waves, and thus, the range of the signal.

      ​@Scoobywoo7447 Ignorant statement. Low energy ones, like ones from the fob or even cellphone, do not. It’s already established science with a bunch of university and medical publication research.

    Now take your CB radio mic in one hand and hold a fluorescent tube in the other. Key the mic and watch the tube glow. Yeah, I’m old and knew this key to forehead trick decades ago.
