My boss had this forwarded to her today in her Email....I don't think it works but I figured this would be the best place to find out for sure.
Ever locked the keys in the car?
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home just call someone on your cell phone who has another set.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home or wherever 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!).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried and it unlocked our car over a cell phone! Neat tip
Thanks, I Figured....would be kinda cool though.
if this worked... onstar would be outta buisness.

One thing that does work. Get a phone on a card plan, so you don't have to pay monthly. Leave this phone in your car, and hotwire the ringer output to the unlock, or start, or whatever, button of your remote. Now, you can call the number and the ringer will trigger this. My electrical teacher did this, it's pretty crazy.

^^ I was thinking kinda the same thing when I saw the title of this thread.
But then you gotta keep the phone active...
I have a pay as you go phoen so i know how it works.
What my buddy did is got some micro switches (5 of them) and a push-button switch. There are in a box no bigger then 2 by 1 by .5 inches. He mounted it under his rear bumper. When he puts the switchs in the right order and pushes the button it completes the curcuit to open the doors. Its hidden so no one knows about it (and you dont know who my friend is so you still dont know) and even if it is found it needs the "combonation" to work. Pretty neat idea i think.
That or you could just be smart and keep a spare key in your wallet.

Or even smarter and not lock your keys in your car in the first place....

Basically a smart way to say spare key, get's the valet title from when you give the valet boys your spare key so they can park your car.

Oh, by the way, on a card plan all you need to do to stay active is make one call a month.
On a $5 dollar calling card, at $25c connection fee, you would have 20 months worth of cell phone entry

The pay as you go plans you need to put a certain amount of money into your account every 3 months to keep the phone active.
