Youcould 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).

OK. I am going to have to try this. I don't see how this could work but I'll see...

This circulated around work and people locked the keys in the company cars to try it. It did not work, but for those of you who still have to try, can I point out something obvious... you don't have to lock your keys in the car to see if you can unlock it with out the keys close by.

As an interesting side note, Audis and Fords on the keyless remote get tons better distance for locking/ unlocking if you stick the remote up against your throat (where your fatty double chin is at). Doesn't work on the Chevys or Toyotas though.

Yeah, it didn't work on mine... I locked the doors and had a friend try to unock them from a pretty good distance and nothing. Thought it might be a long shot... Almost feel like a moron for trying but I had to.

think about it.. a cell phone carries sound.. a remote sends a frequency.. dont see how that could even be feasible

lol, one of the dumbest things i've seen on this forum.

i can't believe anyone would actually even try this...but remember, it won't work at all unless you actually LOCK YOUR KEYS IN THE CAR FIRST. Remember to do that.

jeez, he even put a little "editor's note."

dude, don't you have anything better to do.

oh, try this too!

press control+alt+delete...something cool will happen!!!
