It didn't work for me and my hubby either. My husband says he doesn't think it will work because car batteries use radio frequencies and (digital) cell phones do not pick these up. He says it might work on analogue phones rather than digital phones, which are only used in very low populated areas because it's an older technology that is not used very much anymore. Oh well, I was pretty excited when I first read it. lol.

A while back on the radio the dj's talked about unlocking the vehicle doors w/ the cell phone. They tried it and it worked. I was amazed.

Not long after that I myself locked myself out of the Jeep. We tried to unlock it w/ the cell phone and it didn't work for us. Oh well, maybe we were not doing it correctly??

I already have the number info stored - it's come in handy and gotta love the "free" stuff.

I haven't tried the other's on the list yet but it sounds great!

Thanks for sharing the info.

Thanks for the info! My car is too old to have a remote unlocking thingie, but I'm going to save the other numbers for sure.
