It's amazing for those of us who never thought of it before now .

This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a mobile phone:

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home, call someone on your mobile. Hold your mobile about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on 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, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the boot).

Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!"

From Rowland: is this a hoax? Anyone done it? If so, how does this work?
