Keyless entry antenna wire?
A friend with an '03 Forester is having problems with the range on her keyless entry system: often she has to hold the remote up to the window for it to work. A new battery/dealer visit did not help. I was wondering if I could simply re-route the module's antenna wire to a better area, and/or splice an additional length of wire to the stock antenna wire. Does anyone know which wire is the antenna? I checked several install instructions posted here and at scoobymods, but it was unclear.
I'd also be interested in hearing if anyone else has experienced this poor range problem and/or has any other suggestions for a fix.
Thanks!

i also had problems with the range on my remote.. i found a little black box with a wire that goes into it and 2 stiff wires (kinda like a coat hanger) comming out each side. i moved that to a few other spots and it made it better. i dunno where it started at though lol i forgot.
