Default Improve the SL antenna?

Hi guys, does anyone know if there's a way to improve the SL antenna signal? i'm looking for some kind of amplifier or something like that because the remote control range is too short!!! Any Ideas?

I believe Zeiser50 has the answer. This is his reply from an earlier thread. Waiting for some detailed "how to" info.

Zeiser50 - Just for info, i have installed an electric wire in the bumper (4 meters) in parrallel with the SL antenna. Radio reception becomes good (less than OEM, but good enough i think. More directive) even with the SL antenna.

Few euros only .... Unbeatable !

Installation needs to remove the bumper, which is quite easy.

I know a booster is a device that amplifies the signal (usually radio frequency or rf) thereby improving a weak RF signal and improving the range for receiving such signals.

Still waiting for Michel (Zeiser 50) on his pix and tutorial. Perhaps someone has pix and tutorial on removing the rear bumper cover?
