Car Alarms: extending car alarm range, hornet 564t, copper wire
QuestionI purchased and installed a Hornet 564t car alarm with remote start. I am happy with everything except for the range of the remote start. The alarm range is incredible but the remote start is very poor. I installed the module high in the dash as directed. As a test I wrapped some copper wire around the outside of the unit and ran it up to the windshield. It seemed to help, is there some kind of antenna I could purchase that would look and function better. Thanks Dean
AnswerSounds like an antenna placement issue. If behind
leaded glass or heavy tint, remove it from that locale,
and go a bit below it, or the left or right windshield pillar.
Theat should help. If not contact the DEI seller
for some support and suggestions on better antennas
available.
I hope this helps.
