Default Weak remote??? Plz help

Got another newb ? for you guys. When i got my audi about a month ago i noticed the remote did not seem to pick up unless i was with about 10 feet of the car. I assumed that the bateries may be weak in the remote so i got them changed, but it is still just as weak, it works, but only when very close to the car, any suggestions???

There was a notice sent out by audi to relocate the antenna lead so it would increase the remote locking range. email me for the pdf.

There is also the chin trick...

Press the remote under your chin. I can gain about 20 feet.
