My plan is to rip it apart and attach a cantenna to give to my girlfriend. I haven't yet figured out if I'm going to be able to remove the plastic case without damaging it. It's a keychain fob sized unit, and I can't find any screws holding it together. It might be glued.

Not glued. I was able to snap it apart. I took some pictures of it:

I'm guessing the PCB mounted perpendicular to the main board is the antenna. It appears to be double sided yet both sides are soldered into the same 2 holes. I wonder if I'd have any luck just mounting the whole thing inside a can with the antenna part perpendicular to the can?
