Arrow Extending Alarm Range....HELP!!

Hey guys

Im sitting here on my laptop with a buddy and I found a DIY mod a few weeks ago about how to extend your alarm range for our Key Fobs by taking off the backseat and pulling the alarm antenna up. However, we both want to do this to our B5's tonight, but I cant find the website.

Do any of you have the link for the DIY mod. Im pretty sure its on audiworld or vwforums or something, but I just cannot find it. Please help out...

Thanks in advance....

No I meant under the back seat is where the remote alarm system is, I remember that part, I just need that weblink to figure out where to pull the antenna to

My pre-facelift 99 had it in the c-pillar. Look behind the rear bumper, back by the passenger rear wheel - it's there on some cars. You'll see a little 1-2" tail hanging out.
