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 the trunk!) . |

| 506675 | 2006-12-14 23:24:00 | The typical car remote uses 433 Mhz (433,000 kHz) "rolling coded" FSK transmissions. The cellphone is capable of "transmitting" signals up to ~ 3,000 kHz (voice frequencies) There you will see the impossibility of the suggestion. |
