To Unlock or Not to Unlock... This is the Question...

Got an email today regarding how to unlock your car if you locked your Keys in the car. No, this isnt done by calling OnStar or Triple A, as I thought it might be.

These types of email are all over the place and find their way around the net. I personally don't think so. For one, a Cell phone is a different Frequency than your car's security alarm and the Lock/unlock remote.

But, Here's the email anyway.

"LOCKED KEYS IN YOUR CAR"

This is ingenious... If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your
car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button
of your key fob (clicker), holding it near the phone on their end.
Your car doors 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 trunk)!
Editor's note: It works fine! We tried it out, and it unlocked our car.
And no, this is Fiction. For one I went and tried and secondly I did a google search for this story and came across this. So, thats that. Don't Believe everything you get in an email. The best way to get into the car.. Use a "Slim Jim" or a Wire Coat hange. They work fine, I know this from experiance.
