Hmmm... how is it working then for the few ones that have actually performed?
I go to the snopes thing when I get these crazy emails about everything from Microsoft giving away money to everything else. This key thing was heard on the radio though being tested on the program- unless they were playing us for fools! But then again I would have to say how has it worked these times that it did?

Like several people had mentioned, I still think that if the RKE transmission is audio, then it's possible. I did remember reading about RKE systems using audio signals when I was in school. If our G does use audio signals, then it should depend on the type of cell phones -- does either cell phone filter out the frequency that the RKE is transmitting on.
Well, I tried it with my wife's Nokia and my LG and it did NOT work. And the following two links makes me feel more disappointed. Check them out.

Turn on your radar detector, press your keyfob - notice the X-band start wailing.
Actually, thats a good trick. Carry the keyfob from another car on your keychain. When you get ready to race that ricer on the freeway, press the "other" keyfob, it will set off the ricers radar detector. While they are standing on the brakes, you drive away ...
Nice one Randy. That is a definitive answer for me. I guess I am hoaxed Hey, any other tricks for ricers without a radar detector? Also, sorry for being ignorant, but what is a ricer?

Are you guys sure it isn't just using the cell phone as an antenna? That is what it sounds like to me.
I'd like to see if someone was able to get this to work outside of like a 3 mile range where the antenna issue would be completely out of the equation. I bet it wouldn't work.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
Ok so it wont work, I tried this from a 10 mile distance and it failed. I guess it was true that the cell phone was helping the signal go farther the first time we tried this at work. I usually don’t fall for this sort of thing but hey...you never know and you never get a answer if you don’t ask, right? Oh well sorry for the false info. I'm really not that dumb [banghead]

It worked for me. We unlocked the doors, locked the doors, popped the trunk, and set off the panic alarm. My girlfriend and I tested this from her school to my work.
Distance: approx. 5 miles
Phones: Motorola V60 - Siemens M56
the phones you guys used that worked....do they have blue tooth?
our car remote might send data to cell phones using blue tooth, then the cellphone transferes the data to the other phone. then the receiving cell phone sends the data to our car using blue tooth...? dont know but ill try at lunch today.
my sanyo 8100 doesn't have blue tooth, but ill try anyway.
I don't think the V60 has a bluetooth...if its the phone I'm thinking of. If its working for some ppl I guess it has to deal with the mic and the way the phone reproduces the sounds on the otherside. I dunno where to look up specs on specific parts in the phone...soo thats about as far as my research goes. []
The Motorola V60 doesn't have bluetooth technology. At first I thought all of this was a bunch of B.S. But hey what can I say, it worked for me, na-na-poo-poo.
Really...I will try it again. Maybe the stars were not lined up the second time I did it. So Jaylin, how far away from the car was the second remote and cell phone when you did it? I was a block away the first time I tried it and it worked but not the second time when my wife was at home 10 miles away.
