I khnow it is probably an urban legend...but have you ever seen the post about the 10 things you never knew a cell phone could do? One of them was unlocking your door by have someone with the spare key press the unlock button on the remote, while you are holding the phone near the car. Never tried it...but one day I will. LOL

Just tried this out of curiousity. It worked!! We need to try it again when the car and the key are further apart to be certain that the signal wasn't getting there through the house, but it did not appear to be reaching the car without the phone.
