I was wondering anyone has opened a locked vehicle using two cells phones and the clicker from a remote location??

Tried it once after locking the keys in my wifes truck... Didnt work. Eric

^ ya, they say it does, but we tried it today, and it doesn't work. When you search for info on it there is mostly positive stuff saying it works and showing it works.

Not sure how it works, but a couple weeks ago, my wife was out of town shopping. She was leaving the mall and a lady was trying to get into her car. She locked her purse and cell phone in it also. She asked to borrow the wifes phone so she could call her husband who was out of town in Virginia. She called him and he had an app on his phone and he unlocked it while they were standing there. I have heard it all now. Used to be the old coat hanger and reach down and pull the lock up.

I have heard of it also but never tried it. Now I have OnStar and I can unlock, start or shut off the car from anyplace with cell service. Often thought of shutting it off while my wife was driving but decided I am smarter than that. Lol.

A screwdriver works better than a phone to open a car-and there is no monthly bill for a screwdriver.

Yup....On -Star ...has un locked my truck many times....as long as you have your cell phone in your pocket ...and not in the truck.

Scheide it is a real nice feature.

Still have to manually unlock and lock my doors to the truck with a key, don't mind it either.

I tried the phone thing about 3 years ago in SD when I was pheasant hunting didn't work.

I can also use a key to lock or unlock but almost any vehicles bought in the last 20 years came with a remote clicker for opening and locking that outfit.

I use the key also I don't carry the remote but if you lock your keys in the truck and don't have a key to open it, then you are up a creek. So if u have a cell this option is suppose to work. You could be 100's of miles away from the remote but would need a cell on both ends.

Saw a TV commerical last night where they used a phone app to unlock their Mercedes. I thought, cool if someone steals your phone they get your car too!

I just carry 2 spare keys, that's almost fool proof

I have a spare key , in a magnetic box , under the bedliner of my truck.. Have needed it a couple of times. Won't start the truck , but opens it. old243

I'm thinking this is an urban legend. As far as I know, cell phone mics just pick up sound, not other signals, and the speaker just puts out sounds, not radio frequencies. Even if they could pick up a radio signal from your key fob, I gotta imagine that after being converted to a digital signal, sent from your phone to the tower, from the tower to the other phone, and converted back in to signal, it'd get lost in translation somewhere.

(And I just leave my doors unlocked, as long as there's no guns in the vehicle. The most valuable thing in there is a $20 dollar walmarr radio, and it's a stick so most thieves couldn't drive off with it if they wanted to.)

I can start my f150, turn on the heated seats, air conditioning, lock the doors, all thru my phone. It’s just an app thru Ford that lets me do it. It’s basically on star for Ford just in am app.

It works on my 2001 dodge 2500 diesel. it also worked on my daughters ford focus, don't remember the year. I've tried it on some cars that it wont work on.

I can unlock my car with my cell phone but it scratches the screen.

Its just a new age urban legend. Unless you have On Star or a similar service.

What was the procedure/steps taken to open the locked Dodge? The process I seen was you have a person on line at the locked truck then the other person is on line and pushes the remote button next to the phone and it should open the outfit.

Is that how you got it to work?
