Default HD Garage Door Opener

OK so I installed the HD garage door opener installed with minimal issues and I am wondering. The antenna for the unit is small. I am wondering if I extend that wire will I get a better reception to the unit? The unit only turns on when I am about 25 feet from the garage door and I wanted to extend it another 20 feet at least. So that when I drive up I don't have to stop at the door to wait for it to finish opening.

Anyone have any thoughts on how I can extend the range?
