FACTORY REMOTE START, INCREASE RANGE?

Would anyone have any tricks on increasing the range for remote start?
Mine works great from house kitchen window to a detached garage, but would be nice if it would work through the window of a 2nd floor office building to the parking lot below. I see my lights blink when I remote lock the doors from up there, but the start wont catch. Tried a new fob battery---no luck.

Is it possible to add an antenna to the receiver in the truck (&where is the remote start receiver anyway?)
Or maybe a handheld antenna near the fob?

Had a good half inch of freezing rain on the window after work today, & the remote start wouldn't work from the office--kinda useless.
