Extend antenna for Remote Reciever Module?
*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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umYfQsARaAw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBZOYezVmgM ** I haven't had the chance to open up one yet to see the innards. 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 Just Toyotas Square-ish remote separate from key Any reason why I shouldn't go with any of them?
