chin trick works with the S4 as well LOL (and i switched from a lexus)

 

thanks 2k s4 i read the other write up... but now you got pictures. im going to do it this week

 

Cbass... you said that you striped the insulation off of your antenna extention. I do not think that will work because it will make contact and cause the car to become the antenna.. or something.

 

yeah, something ain't right... I get like ~200ft from the front or back (unobstructed).I love being able to arm the alarm from the 2nd floor window of my office

 

Ok well the problem was that the stripped antenna was touching the metal, so I just moved it around a bit into a different position and now my range is much better. Thanks for the idea syxxty.

 

2k S4 -- I am new to reading in this S4 space on the forum. Is this antennae placement the same for the A6? My remote is pathetic as well -10 feet max and I have replaced the batteries. Any thoughts.

 

how would you do this on a 1999 somone said the attena isnt in the rear bumber?

 

anntenna is said to be under the rear seat. I just saw this post thanks to you and will be trying it on my A4 and S4 this afternoon

 

can you take a pic for me? if u have a 99 or below

 

Under rear seat, driver side. There is a small box on a bracket, thats your remote. From this a black wire runs to the wiring harness where its covered in the same plastic cover you see in the pics. It runs up the side of the rear seat half way up, then doubles around and back down. To increase range you pull the wire out and run it all the way up the back seat and then across the back, making an 'L'.
