That exactly what I'm going to do before I move it to the windshield position.

Okay, I moved the antenna to the front windshield today. Test results to come. I'm going to test it this weekend. I plan on testing it in the same parking lot in the same positions, and distances.

I am officially done with the 2-way remote system. I tested it over this past weekend and I get no distance out of it at all. It's a total disappointment.

I pulled the 2-way remote module out of the truck and put back in my original remote start/RKE module, but I did leave it connected to the diversity antenna. I'm going to test it from the regular spot this Sunday. I do have to say it's so much nicer having my small FOB back in my pocket. That 2-way remote was the size of a cell phone.

Search the forum, we've put side by side pictures up. No need to go see it. Believe us, it's BIG!

On another note my old RKE is working just fine with the diversity antenna still hooked up. Might as well utilize it, instead of having the little 2 feet of antenna that hangs off the module.
