Find your car: 3 tricks for how your car flashes
Finding the car in a large parking lot is sometimes more difficult than expected. In this article, we present three simple tricks to help you find your car in any situation.
Find your car in crowded parking lots or unknown streets
It often happens that when you park your car you are so thoughtful that finding it later becomes a real challenge.
- We have put together a few tricks for you to save you time and unnecessary worries.
Enhance the car key signal with your body
If you are not too far away, press the open button on your car key. To improve your chances of locating your car quickly, you can do the following:
- Hold the key under your chin and press the button again.
- The reason why this method works is the amount of fluid in the human body that serves as a perfect conductor to extend the frequency range of the key.
Use surrounding metal objects, lamps and pillars as signal amplifiers
Another easy way to improve your key signal is to use objects that are high, such as street lights.
- Even a simple metallic element like a metal disc can help amplify your key signal and find your car faster.
- In closed parking garages you have to improvise with the given elements.
An alternative way to improve your key signal
If you're in a situation without street lights and don't want to hold the key under your chin, you can always try our last trick - the copper cable.
- With the help of a copper cable, as well as with other metal objects, you can improve your chances of being found again.
- For optimal key performance, you should also check that the battery is fully charged.
- An empty battery can often reduce the operating range, which can be a problem when unlocking and locking.
- Bonus tip: If you are parking in an unknown area for the first time, make short videos with your car and the signs around it so you know what to look for. It is also helpful to remember restaurants or shops that you can find on Google Maps if necessary.
