I see what you did there. Clever. - deivys, on 10/12/2007, -9/+57That's as old as dirt. Dugg for those who still don't know that.
- solemnraven, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37Am i the only one who thought by "boost" he meant steal?
- xamox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35Actually I heard if you stick the remote up your butt, you can use your penis as a directional antenna and it works like 3x farther than this. Seriously just try it if you don't believe me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28i'd like to see a mythbusters on this...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Score one for humans!
Neat trick.... not so neat when the klansman popped up and scared the crap out of me at the end. - macrymble, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Dugg for being a metacafe video not created by kipkay.
- Norse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16I've been doing you mom since 1988.
- lebe0024, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16I've been doing this for years with my VWs. It works. Dugg.
- TwoKings, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17ABSOLUTELY works. I've been doing it for years.
The only thing that I'm afraid of is that with the amount of dental work I have in my head, I may be unlocking the doors to the International Space Station........ - jennamalia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10could you recommend a method for females with dual inverted-concave directional antennae with tip-mounted transducers?
- onelove, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8yes stealing a car via your skull would have been better
- Founding, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10yeah it does work so dugg
- rjam710, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Good to know that it works. This'll help a lot since the battery in my remote is dying and the range keeps getting shorter and shorter.
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It's not polarization. 30 seconds of attempting it yourself can prove that. Walk away from your car until you just get out of range. Then change the orientation of the remote, without putting it close to your head. Then walk away some more until that stops working as well. Then hold it up to your head/chin/whatever. Voila.
However, I don't think it's a skull amplifying thing either. I think it's a capacitance thing. Holding it close to your body changes the capacitance in a way that increases the range a bit. The same way that a radio or TV goes slightly out of tune when you get close to the antenna. - Caleb83, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I'm pretty sure it was a joke. If it's not, then we have bigger problems than how to unlock our cars.
- diggslinger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Me too......
also trying this trick with a person has orthodontic braces and a person has a metal plate in the skull. - STARTSOMETHING, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4thats why im afraid to do it
- profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I thought he meant starting the engine when your car battery's dead.
- hater2win, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I use this with my apartment complex's security gate. When my friends come over, they either have to call my house phone and I go through all these security prompts (which I hate doing) or I hold to my chin the little clicker they gave me when I moved in that opens the gate. Works like a charm, my friends are happy cuz they get in quick and I am happy because I don't have to have it tied to a phone now.
- BigglesPiP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Works against your temple too. Top Gear showed it.
- lukychmz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3been doing this for a long time too . we all gonna have brain cancer when we get older ;)
- nrobmac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I didn't know it...and now I'm glad I do.
- efinit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3i used to use this trick to make sure there were no car bombs wired to the remote from a safe distance.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2capacitance does sound like a far more likely explanation than the "oral cavity". Radio waves don't behave like sound waves at all. I was actually thinking that perharps your skull is acting like a "lens" somehow to refract the wave, although i think capacitance is equally, if not more, likely explanation. I don't have a car, so I can't really test it out; although there seem to be alot of valid testimonies... how much does the precise remote/skull configuration matter?
- efinit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1no i did valet parking for mobsters.
- zobcat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, I was completely confused. How could someone steal a car with their skull?
- ogletree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was doing that back in 1991
- desmondregan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1was this not on brainiac a long long time ago
- bigp3rm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3This is old.. I have been doing this since 1988.
- plosfas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2ya I read it as 'boost a car with your skull'
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -3/+3I can confirm that this technique works.
- mroffroad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Been doing it for years, people think I am nuts when I do it... but it works.
- MatchStick, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2title's really misleading, i thought this would have something to do with boosting (stealing) a car...remotly...using your skull
cool trick though
(edit: solemnraven beat me to it) - Hollyweird, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0yeah, I just couldn't believe this worked, so I tried it. And it does! Amazing.
- Erik1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1That sounds like Billy Bob Thorton...
I wondered what he was up to these days. - jimvwmoss, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Cool! Ive been doing this for years but people think im mad, now i know how it works too!!!
- nrobmac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0
must be a secret agent man... - Hollyweird, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I lust laughed my a** off at what norse said.
- dwoo12, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2In recent news: Thousands have been diagnosed with brain cancer after being too lazy to walk around to find their car.
But what doesn't cause cancer these days? - onionblaster, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3did anybody read this comment under the video on the original page?
"damn bag man, you really know your stuff. I left my kid in the car at the store today and forgot about him for an hour, when I remembered and got back to the parking lot, I also forgot where my car was. I hit the panic button on my car remote, nothing happened, I then remembered your trick and "kabam" it honked. My boy was drinking his own piss by then, because he was so hot and thirsty, but he was alive. Thanks man."
how goddamn terrifying is that? - dotMH, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1@jimvwmoss (#6577126)
ummm... so you were doing that without knowing why it works..? How did you figure it out then? - Erik1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Anyone want to know why it works can check out the link,

(uses a cellphone signal) - peter202, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0HAHA ive seen this done on top gear a couple of years ago... the funny thing is it was just the other day my friend and i tested it out for ourselfs when we had a hold of our head of sixth keys!
- nrobmac, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2I never knew that. it's wacky to think about how that works. i'm gonna use it. it'd be funny to see all the peeps doing that in garages.
- Cyclonic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0ya my buddy has been doing this for years. I didnt believe him until i saw him do it. Old.
- sundancekid503, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Using this method you can actually unlock your car by urinating on the door. Don't believe me? Try it!!
- JohnnyBKGB, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5That's SUPER OLD!
- darkein, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3"i heard, since its on topic, that the signal from your key remote for your car can travel through a cell phone call. So for example if you lost your keys or whatever you can call your beautiful girlfriend (or mom) at home and ask her, while on the phone to point the key remote at the receiver and while you stand next to your car, the signal will travel through and unlock your car. I heard this works but have not been able to try it out yet. anyone know?"
It does not work - a local radio station here tried it. - codegator, on 10/12/2007, -11/+6Of course, 20 years from now everyone who tries this will probably die from brain cancer....
