Is it possible to unlock car doors remotely using mobile phone?

    I read an article which states that you can unlock the car doors using mobile phone remotely.

    The steps are:
    1. Call somebody at home using ur mobile and ask them to use the spare remote, to press the open button in the remote, while holding the it near their mobile.

    2. The person calling can hold his mobile near the car door and it will open.

    DO YOU THINK THIS WILL WORK? HAS ANYBODY TRIED THAT?

    I tried this and didn't work and others have said it does but logically this makes no sense if it were to work. Your cellphone only transmits certain frequencies and your keys transmit on a different wavelength too. Your keyless remote also sends an encrypted signal. Your cells are only made to pick up audio.

    No, this makes no sense. A cellphone cant just "remember" a specific frequency/signal and just retransmit it. The signal would just go through the phone. =)

    No it does not work, a cell phone cannot transmit at the same frequency of a remote fob and the only people who are silly enough to say they tried it and it worked most probably tried the experiment and pressed the remote control within the car's range and thought the mobile had opened it.

    Most of the cars have a "romote controller"(in fact, it is the key to the lock) that control the door locks.
    It is very cheap, the problem is how to integrate the control to the mobilephone.
    I don't think it is necessary to do that.

    What you'd need to do is wire your cell phone to a frequency modulator so the sound (frequency) that came from your phones ear piece matched the frequency of your remote. I don't know if there is such a thing, but it would probably work that way.
