Hmm Does this really work?

BellasBmw · 08-02-2006, 01:09 AM

I got this email from a friend of mine, has anyone tried this?

Locked your keys in your car ???? Did you know this??

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

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the
person on the phone (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!

Mike's Note * I locked the car had my youngest daughter call me while I
was far away from the car. I clicked open into the phone and I could hear
the car doors unlock through her cell phone. My daughter confirmed that sure enough the doors opened.

You have mistaken BMW Asses for Onstar. Onstar really comes in handy and was only like $16 a month. Didn't need bluetooth since the SUV had one integrated and of course hands free. Voice activated which was really awesome. I can't wait until I get back to the mainland and get that again.
