This only works if you have a SPARE keyfob.

(1) Call the person whom has access to your other keyfob on your cellphone
(2) Point your cellphone towards the car and tell them to hit the OPEN button
(3) Get inside your car

...I heard about this on the news, and being the perpetual skeptic that I am, I did not believe it. BUT IT REALLY DOES WORK!!! The signal on the keyfob is a digital signal, so it will flow right through the phoneline to your end and open 'er up.

 

It is actually complete BS.

The remote uses IR [infrared] aka light..
its not a sound.

As far as I know, A cell phone does not transmit light.

This is completely false...

 

urban legend and REPOST x 1 billion!!!

 

First and foremost, the KEYFOB does not use IR. It does use RF (Radio Frequency), now concerning the transmission of radio frequency signals over a phone connection, this is highly unlikely as a landline phone or any phone be it cell or anything for that matter does not re-transmit RF from an external source.

 

Didn't we just go through this 2 weeks ago?

 

you....are an idiot....simply put...to believe this....

 

lol i just tried doin this..i put the keys in the car locked em..i was prolly few blocks away from my house and i called my mom..she pushed unlock and OMG MY CAR WAS still locked

myth BUSTED

 

it works on some cars and some phones.

tx frequency has to be able to be carried by phone, rec'd by sending phone and broadcasted by other end.

 

cracking me up...

 

i would at least try it first before i posted it... lol

could get a lot of people in trouble

 

 

OMG next one to post a thread like this is getting permabanned.
