i've extended my antenna and re-routed it 3-4 times now. key pad has a brand new battery in it (literally days old).. i still cant get any range worth a damn outta it.. i had it ran between the rear valance and bumper, then i moved it to on top of the actual bumper (metal piece behind the cover) and now its ran behind the plastic part above the metal bumper.. its ran from 1 side all the way over to the other side.

what is someones specific place of running this, or is my keyless brain going bad?
