The little key clickers put out a radio frequency. I had no idea that a cell phone would receive and broadcast that radio frequency. I wanna try it.

And yes indeed, your cell phone uses RF too. Upwards and beyond 800-900Mhz band.

Well, sure... but I thought all that it was bothering to transmit was the voice data being fed into its microphone. If it's rebroadcasting radio frequencies around it... why would it... okay, there's a lot I don't know about cell phone technology (being just an old ham fan myself). I'm dying to try the experiment!

To be fair, I haven't tried it either, but it's basically the same thing OnStar does.

LOL!

Sorry, Billy. Not only did Siggs eat that zuke bread I was gonna send you (I can make another, don't worry) but he didn't check this out himself before he mentioned it and now you are locked out of your nice new truck. *pouts for you *

Check it out here, guys.

wow...I've been reduced to just another useless poster of internet snake oil....somebody help me, before I like....kill myself with a veg-o-matic. (it slices/dices/chops/gratesANDmakesJuliennefriesyouknow.)

but hey, at least I was dead on with the frequencies...BOOYEAH

There, there, Siggs. We all ged tricked from time to time. But, you DID nail the frequencies!

thankyeeeeeeeeew

Relaying remote entry system signals via telephone might work if the signals were sound-based, but they're not. An RKE system transmits an encrypted data stream to a receiver inside the automobile via an RF (radio frequency) signal, a signal that can't be effectively relayed via cell phone.

That's what I was so ineloquently trying to say. Good to know I'm thinking logically.

I wonder why sometimes I immediately think of snopes and other times it never occurs to me...

Because you are human?

Well... I want to be BETTER than human!

Well Elfie, you may have pointie ears, but you no Vulcan.
