I dont know if this topic has been posted before, but I've heard from my gf that you can unlock (or lock) the doors through a cellphone. I didn't believe it at first, but it works. I gave her my extra key and she was over at her house and I was at home with my car in the garage. I think you're supposed to hold the key about an inch away from the phone. It's pretty amazing. Has it worked for anyone else too?

The reviews are not consistent on this one:

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

I would love to see this covered on Mythbusters.
