Use a Cell Phone to unlock your car.

Use a Cell Phone to unlock your car.
This may be SIAL but i have just found this method out and tested it and it works.
If you dont have your car keys for what ever reason you can unlock a car using your mobile phone.
Contact who ever has your spare keys and then get them to press the unlock button whilst pointing the fob at the mobile they are holding, you in turn point your phone towards the drivers door and hey presto it unlocks the car.
It can also lock it back up again if you so desire.
Have just tried it on a SAAB, Audi and a BMW and it works on all of them.

Its not even the frequency of the phone that the issue here either its how a 'Microphone' picks up a 475mhz signal from the remote, then how the phone transmits it (as audio) accross a network that would filter it out and then some how retransmitts it at the other end from a speaker

Have any of you tried it yet.
Believe me, i too was thinking ''Utter Bullsh#t'' when i was told about it then i tried it and it works every time.
I'm a telecomms engineer and i too was having none of it until i tried it.
There are vidoes of it being done on Youtube which i found after i tried it.

I am an Electronics Engineer and I am telling you waht you are suggesting is complete tosh.
You may as well have told us that you can get the person to send you a picture of the keys and that works just as well.
Just to get it stright, you are saying that I should
-phone up someone with my spare keys.
-They press the unlock button and point it at thier phone
-The RF signal (assuming it isnt an IR system) get sent down a phone line, and then transmitted to your phone over the airwaves
-Your phone then transmits a signal at exactly the right frequency and phase to unlock your car

lol This was on Braniac 2 weeks ago (remember John Tickle? the brain box geek of big brother a few years back) he has his own program and they tried it, low and behold it did work although I bet he was outside the building still fairly close to the transmitter... Using my electronics knowledge HNC Electronic Engineering and working in Telecoms for 11 years plus tells me its **** too lol

Oh i am sure there are ways of doing something along the lines as suggested - Remote keyless access is nothing new. But standard phone, standard car alarm and several miles inbetween? As you say - bull****

Tried it on the Audi first (Brand new A3) i had the key in my hand so i could tell if somebody was pulling my plonker and the owners mother is 8 miles away on her mobile with the spare keys and it worked straight away.
Walked away and tried it again and it worked every time. What the f#ck i too believe it shouldnt work at all but it has on 4 cars, i have just tested it on a new RR Sport and it worked on the 2nd press of the button.
Believe me i wouldnt have posted on here without trying the idea first.
I'm baffled too.

So at a guess.....
If you agreed to meet a mate somewhere like the NEC, and he ran late. He calls you from the car park and says he is by your car. At the same time you sit down, pressing the buttons on your remote. The car would still unlock ?

It works with them really big old mobiles, just chuck it through the door window, put your hand through and pull the handle inside the car and voilà, the car IS unlocked. Proof that it is possible to unlock a car with a mobile phone!
Go try it if you don't believe me

I pointed it at the windscreen first but no joy but then i tried it pointed at the drivers door about 8'' away from the handle and it opened.
Just tried it on a Renault Clio just to prove i'm not going mad and again it worked.

For a telecoms engineer, you sure have access to lot of cars.

I'm now for my sins a Sales Manager in Telecoms after 12 years on the tools and yes all the cars are staff cars in the main car park.
One isnt ours as the owner wanted to know what the hell i was doing so she let us try it on her Renault Clio.

So what you are saying is that it's not actually communicating with the receiver or anything, but directly to the door handle.

Just tried in on our Honda CRV. Bingo!
Also, has anyone tried using their brain as a transmitter? Try walking away from your car until the remote no longer activates the central locking. Then look at the car and press the key fob while pointing it at your temple. Works every time! Tried it in our works car park in the summer on:
CRV
Fiesta
Rover 75
Accord Type R
All worked perfectly, using " the power of the mind "
