DO You Think This Would Work?!??!?!?!

This seems like something everyone should know about!

Locked your keys in your car ???? Did you know this??

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home,
call someone on your (or someone else's) 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 of your key fob
(clicker), holding it near the phone on their end. Your car doors
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!)

Mike's Note *

I locked the car had my youngest daughter call me while I was far away
from the car. I clicked open into the phone and I could hear the car
doors unlock through her cell phone.. My daughter confirmed that sure
enough the doors opened.

Pass this one on to your friends

I saw this on another forum site. It was shown both theoretically and empirically that this does not work.

Try it if you want but don't rely on it.

More info:

Relaying remote entry system signals via telephone might work if the signals were sound-based, but they're not. A Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system transmits an encrypted data stream to a receiver inside the automobile via an RF (radio frequency) signal, a signal that can't be effectively relayed via cell phone. Also, RKE systems and cell phones typically operate on completely different frequencies; the former in the 300 MHz range and the latter in the 800 MHz range.

Some people have been fooled into believing the cell phone method of unlocking car doors works because they tried it and achieved the desired result — only because their cars were still within range of their keyless remote devices, and it was actually the direct signal from the RKE transmitter that unlocked the door, not the signal transmitted through the cell phone connections

0.o ok thanks for the info ....i knew it wouldnt work anyway i was just testin ya...yeah thats it...

Hahaha!

On the other site it was funny. People were actually trying to get it to work until someone explained why it can't. :D
