Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile 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 it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"

This does really work,we tested it about 6 months ago through the Sheriffs office.Our dept. had to prove to a couple of Deputys that it did work,and it does.

Unless you were very close and had frequency slop over, I don't see how it would work. Because usually they are using different frequencies and so being compatible is not possible.

Please explain how this can work, I am interested in that concept.

See this link. Most don't work over the cell phone. Snopes is a good source to check these rumors.
