Range on Garage Door Opener SUCKS!

Is anyone else have issues with the poor range on the garage door opener buttons mounted in the rear view mirror? If I'm not within about 15 feet of the garage door, it doesn't open the door. What a PITA.

On my universal ones that mount up in the ceiling console (E39, E46), there was a DIY workaround where I opened it up and wrapped aluminum foil attached to the internal antenae that did extend the range. I think getting into the rear view mirror might be a riskier proposition.

Any ideas or options?
