Unlock vehicle by using a cell phone and spare remote

[captainrab]

Seems I remember reading a tip about someone locking their keys in their vehicle and then having someone from a remote location press the button on a spare remote while holding it to a phone to unlock the vehicle. Anyone recall this posting? If so please post the details.

captainrab,

If you go back to the Original post, you will find this post from me in the body of the topic on page 2. So the radar detector did fit the topic.

"For all of you that had success with this, just think, rent out radar detectors thru the phone lines.
Just have the customer put their cell phone on the dash (pointing forward of course) and you can give them the a high speed ticket free trip.

In fact, there may be a GPS service/business (through the phone) in there as well.

Call me, and we will make all the arangements for your next trouble free trip.

867 5309, ask for Jenny or call BR549 ask for Junior.

Thanks Captainrab,

I was just trying to get a little more mileage out of the gag, funny enough it actually paid off.

R.C., Although I didn't believe what I was reading you never know with new technology. Especially with reports of keys working up to 2 miles. We argued for weeks at work before I posted the conclusion.
Thanks for the reply.
