Ever locked your keys in your car?

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone on your (or someone else's) 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 the trunk!).

Editor's Note * It works fine! We tried it out, and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!)

Mary Ann's Note: We tried this on two different types of vehicles here at the office and both times it worked for us. It also will work if the person calling is on a cell phone or land line Phone. Just might come in handy one day.

Pass this one on to your friends.

*Thanks, Andy
