If keys get locked inside your car, can you unlock it by using cellphone?

Question

I received an email that said "if you lock your keys in the car and the spare remote is at home, call someone at home on their cellphone from your cellphone. Hold your cellphone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your house press the 'unlock' button while holding it near the cellphone on their end".

I tried it and it didn't work, but I thought I would see if anyone else has had success with this.

Answer 1

LMAO!  No, you can't unlock your car using your cell phone

(unless you have onstar.)

Answer 2

Answer 3

The way that you describe doing it is correct and it sometimes takes 3 or 4 times to do it but it does work........

Answer 4

That won't work. Trust me.

Answer 5

Nope only a myth

Answer 6

That's a myth. Remote key fobs use radio waves not sound. Cell phones only reproduce sound waves.

Answer 7

I work at a dealership.  This is a myth!
