akewlguy Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Recently I received an email stating if one is locked out they could use their cell phone and someone with key on other end to get in. The idea was to press the key button on the other end and door would unlock. I tried and it did not work, but it seems possible. I suspect its a frequency and the signal would go through the phone? Just something stupid and interesting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ko90ls Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 where'd you hear that? is it new technology? sounds pretty useful to me, if you're stranded somewhere without a key. think they have it in japan? knowing them it's already standard. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus411 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 e-mail hoax. Would be cool if it was true though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Frequencies from the key is a noise that a human cannot hear. So can a cell phone acuratly recreate the exact same frequencie signiture? Just ask your self the one logically answer, how do you always know when someone is calling from a cell phone over a landline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think this is a repeat but: Claim: Cars equipped with remote keyless entry systems can be unlocked via cell phone.Status: False. http://www.snopes.com/autos/techno/keyless.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha4000 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 you def. have to be in a certain range to use a remote key and i also doubt across a cell X amount of distance away is close enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branshew Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Maybe the guy used his cell phone to call OnStar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
