How to Open/Start your Car by Cell Phone - 1/17/2005 6:11:46 PM    Hells GT Posts: 331 Joined: 11/1/2004 Status: offline 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 "On Star," 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)! _____________________________ ------------------------ Remember what is was like before you were born?

Remotes use sound waves that correspond w/ the reciever on the car... I would just think that there would be too much interference on a cell hpone for it to work. _____________________________ (in reply to Hells GT) Post #: 8

Plus there has to be VERY little distortion for the computer to comprehend it as the correct code, cellphone speakers suck, especially on all the nextels, it's like the rice of the cellphone world with the flashy lights and they...
