How many people didn't know you can open a remote car door with cell phones?

If your wife or husband or friend locks their key in the car and your at home with another set you can hold the cell phone about a foot from the door while your friend at home pushes the unlock button.Both have to be on a cell phone and it doesn't matter how far away it is.Got this off the internet and it really works.

    Sorry, but that's been proven to be a hoax (see link, below).

    "Relaying remote entry system signals via telephone might work if the signals were sound-based, but they're not. An RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) system transmits an encrypted data stream to a receiver inside the automobile via an RF (radio frequency) signal, a signal that cannot be effectively relayed via cell phone."

    Good luck!...
