I finally got around to doing this mod. Added a length of wire and ran it up inside the weatherstripping to the top of the windsheild. Range increased from 5 feet to 90 feet. This mod works so well and is so simple that I think it should be done by all dealers before new cars leave the lot. Lotus screwed up with the OEM alarm antenna configuration.
Anyway, always looking for more, I also opened my Blackwatch Racing Uni-Key and attached a small wire from the trace that runs around the top of the circuit board to the metal key itself so that the key acts as an antenna. This added a good 30 to 40 additional feet to the range. Oh, and these range measurements were taken in pouring rain with a remote battery that is probably in need of replacing. I'm very impressed, and I can finally arm and disarm my alarm from the house.
