Actually, a long time ago Mythbusters tested out putting your keyless entry to underneath your chin to extend the range. It works because your voice box is a natural amplifier. I don't think it give you more than 20 extra feet. Anyways, that's what I do when I can't seem to find my car.

What works as well and doesn't need any modification: hold the keyless entry against your head (your temple is best). Press the button now and you will see you have just greatly increased the range. Your whole body is now the antenna. Try it, it works!

I used to do the same thing years ago, but I pressed the fob to my chin - putting it to your temple looks like you're gonna shoot yourself LOL
