Hi, the remote range sucked on my LX450; line of sight only to the transmitter and at most six feet, practically none without Line of Sight. I did this "mod" and it is TERRIFIC. I did not have to remove the seat (thanks for the pics). The pics help eliminate the

factor when cutting the single grey wire. I ran the new wire under the drivers seat to the DS trim and stashed it under there and removed the B billar as well and ran it up that (gorilla tape to the steel) and then another three feet behind the DS rear door behind the door trim (there is space there, but prolly overkill). Sweet results! About 50 feet with line of sight and about 20 without even with not-so-new batteries. Great, free clean "mod". Thanks a lot!
