Default Can somebody try this out?

Aparently,if for example you have locked your keys in the car.


if you hold your mobile phone near the car door and somebody on the other end of the phone presses unlock on your spare set of keys.the doors will unlock.


i would try this but my mrs is in nepal and i have no freinds.

I'm no electical engineer but I can't imagine it would work.

Phones transmit sound, unless you car alarm works by sound it wouldn't work.
Even if the alarm used ultrasonic sound I'd guess it would be out of range of the phone speakers and mics.

They transmit sound via radio frequency, and RCL works by radio frequency (or IR), and hence the myth sprang forth.

No, it won't work.

I'm surprised.

It leads me to the conclusion that if phone companies improved the mikes & loudspeakers around the 10KHz range of human speech, maybe they would be less useless as communication devices!
