Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone at their end.
Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object, you could be hundreds of miles
away, if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors.
I didn’t believe this when I heard about it so I got my wife to go out in the snow until she was far enough away from the car that the remote was out of range, she then rang my mobile, (I was in the warm garage next to the car, we tried the method as described above and Bingo the car unlocked.
Hope this helps someone who is in the unfortunate position of stupidly locking their keys in the car!!:thumb:
