Trick with Key Fob - You won't believe it! (Well I didn't)

shabarivas · 09-06-2010, 01:59 PM

It depends on the carrier and their phone transmitting frequencies (if they happened to be 300mhz w/ an RF

)... it works on some cars - usually when the remote is within range

Will this work, too?

Sorry if this trick has already been posted in another post.

I called my wife at work on my cell phone and told her to put the key fob up to her phone and hit the unlock button. At the same time I was holding my cell phone next to the door and all be damned it unlocked!!!

Try it out!

Well this is embarrassing. So after all of non-believers about the fob I tried it a second time. I sent my wife down the street a couple hundred feet from our house (with both fobs) and had her try it again making sure she wasn’t in range of the fob working on its own. Turns out the key fob works from pretty far away but we couldn’t get it to work again. The only thing I can think of is that when she was at work I had the fob too close to the car when I hit the button on the door. I was fooled. Sorry if I took some of you with me.

Have you tried the 2-tone horn option?

This used to work for my old F250, never tried it with the Z yet though

Holy crap just tried this and it works, unbeliveable...

According to Snopes it cannot possibly work.

RCZ · 09-06-2010, 11:15 PM

this is hilarious. Can someone actually do this?

I heard that if you honk 4 times, put the hazards on and then say 3 Our Fathers, your odometer resets to 0.

According to common sense and a 10th grade education, this cannot work

If your cell phone could possibly pick up your remote opener's signal, then you'd be able to hear it as well unless you're 85.
