Subject: Do you lock your keys in your car???

I haven't tried this personally, but it sounds like something we should all know..........




>> 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!)

>> I locked the car and 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

Might just be my truck.....but It didn't work.

 

 

Worked on mine - - I just tried it. Took the fob to the other end of the house where it will not work by itself. Hit the phone, wifey hit the button, truck opened.

WOW!! that is something else ain't it? i'm so gonna try this when my girlfriend gets here. that is the coolest thing i've ever heard and i've locked my keys in my truck b4 and i had the keys driven to me...well not any more.

i'll keep ya posted.

 

Boys that's nuckin futz i gotta try that one sounds cool. be back in about 1 hr and let ya'll know.

 

HOLY COW wow do i get a kick out of this. it really really really did work.

wow, that just amazes me!!!

shovelhead...it may be your truck i don't know but it does work.

 

Mine must be an older keyless entry version.
And No, I don't want to buy a newer truck so it will work.........

Oh well, I never lock the doors by hand anyway.
If I only lock with the fob, the keys are always in my hand.

 

You've got to be pulling my leg!

So, in theory, you could do the same thing with your garage door opener. They both run on high frequency radio waves.

 

I will expect to see a 'remote vehicle entry' fee on my cell bill before long.
We gotta pay for the services...yeah...thats it.

 

You guys make me laugh.

Ya'll actually have door locks!!!

Wait until your truck gets as old as mine, and when you lock that door, you lock youself out even if you do have your keys.



Anyways, Snopes says it's bull.

At least, it's bull the vast majority of the time.

 

Didn't work! Might need to pay phone bill!!!!

 

i call BS and only have one remote SO figure that one out!

 

any electrical geeks here wanna tell me if the remote locks are analog or digital? I now want to build one that runs about 3 watts so I can unlock everyone elses truck by just driving thru a parking lot. *G*

 

It didn't work with mine, but the microwave started and the timer was at 20:05.....the year of my truck.

Yes, I'm kidding.
