Got this email today, sounds interesting but does anyone know if it actually works???
This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your 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).
Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!" |

Actual this will not work on most cars. The unlocking of a keyless entry vehicle is via a RADIO frequency. You will not be retransmitting the exact frequency via your cell phone, only the sound. BUT all of the Freqs for any make, series, or model of a car can be found easily.
It might be faster to break a window. |
