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
i've heard of this also. you could be across town in a mall with a locked car and keys in it and doing this will unlock the vehicle! what a trip... gotta love technology.

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.
Wait, so how does this work?

This is not possible. Proof is on the internet if you search. The rumour was spread via a hoax email.

You don't have a spare key? If so used it or have someone bring it to you. Ilock mine in the trunk b4 and used the spare to open it.
