Greetings:

I thought this was interesting, so I'm sharing. I'm going to test it at home with my cell.

For those of you who have a car that can be unlocked by that remote button on your key ring: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home, and you don't have "OnStar," here's your answer to the problem!

If someone has access to the spare remote at your home, call them on your cell phone (or borrow one from someone if the cell phone is locked in the car, too)!
Hold your (or anyone's) cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end.

Your car will unlock.. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk, or have the "horn" signal go off, or whatever)!

(Editor's Note * It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!) Distance doesn't seem to be a factor.

 

INCREDIBLE!!!

 

I'm skeptical...have you tried this yourself, or just taken the Internet's word for it?

 

Im going to try this today!!

 

if you believe that, then u'll believe i have a 12 incher in my pants

 

Inless Im doing something wrong it doesnt work.

 

Make sure you hold your phone a fair distance away. Not too close.

 

I'm *very* skeptical.

Cellphones can send/receive sounds at a level of fidelity that's barely acceptable. I doubt it'll be able to carry RF signals that's well beyond the audible range.

Besides, are the receivers for keyless entry remotes on a typical car installed in the door?

 

I guess if you keyless remote uses ultrasonic or infrasonic (is there such a thing?) waves (and I mean just outside the audible range), it *might* be possible. I'm pretty sure mine doesn't.

 

False
