Car Cell Phone

well my cousin sent me this e-mail, it was pretty intersting about cell phones. now im not sure if this works and i wanna try but let me see hat u guys think before i make a fool out of myself

Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?*

>This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
>If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call
>someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.
>Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person
>at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on
>their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your
>keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away,
>and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you
>can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
>Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car
>over a cell phone!"*

I'll try, but the t-reg unlocks from miles away anyway, and you can't lock them in the car, because if it senses the keys on you it unlocks for you.

Does this work for the older cars with no power locks or all types of locks?

No, because non-power locks don't have remotes and therefore can't be unlocked remotely.

I don't think it could technically work. I doubt a mobile phone would pick up RF signals from a key, and even if they did, would they transmit them? I doubt it. AND how can a speaker send RF signals?

If you had a cell phone with a very high quality speaker I wouldn't be surprised if it worked.

I don't think the speakers are involved. I think its more like the radio signal of the remote keys are amplified by the cell phone and picked up by the other cell phone. I personally though don't believe it would work.
