*Extend antenna...

So it is possible?

Does it matter? It's this or the remote key fob. What is the metal and is it as a simple as just finding a longer wire?

Thanks.

No. It is an antenna tuned for the frequency. Extending it will not extend the range.

That's what I figured. Thanks Scott.

So the other way is to tune the remote?
I was thinking of these examples:

And while I have your attention sir... will any switch blade remote that works for a Toyota work for my car? Mine does not have a chip, it is a straight metal.

Like these.
For Tacoma (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Keyless-Remote-Key-GQ43VT20T-Tacoma-Tundra-G-Chip-Flip-Switch-blade-/232031476292?fits=Make%3AToyota&hash=item3606275a44:g:CB0AAOSwX~dWkRL-&vxp=mtr)
Just Toyotas (http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Button-Remote-Flip-Folding-Key-Shell-Case-Cover-Uncut-Blade-For-Toyota-Car-New-/281132494127?fits=Make%3AToyota&hash=item4174cd6d2f:g:yfoAAOxy7odR2ZNz&vxp=mtr)
Square-ish remote separate from key (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-New-Replacement-Keyless-Entry-Remote-Key-Fob-Trunk-For-GQ43VT14T-/291008187383?fits=Make%3AToyota&hash=item43c1708bf7:g:9YAAAOSwxCxT3PBi&vxp=mtr)

Any reason why I shouldn't go with any of them?
