This will only work for people with 2 remotes for thier car.

Read this in a free paper given out in London of an evening.

What to do if you lock your car blipper in the car
If the spare keys are at home, call someone there on their mobile from your mobile. Hold your mobile about a foot from the car door and have the person at home hold the spare blipper to their mobile and press the unlock button. The sonic message should transmit through your phone and unlock your car so you can retrieve the keys.

i think its a myth mate

Graceland

The Mythbusters team tried this - and aparantly it worked

MadMac

I think thats a myth too, car blippers dont work on sonic signals....

burnzy

it does work but only with certain blippers, think infra red doesn't not 100% on that but pretty sure, and well if you think it don't work try it

My car don't have a remote, but can someone try this. you only need to walk 3 or 400 yards up the road ring ya misses on her phone and try it. ya dont need 2 fobs to try it... someone do it and post the outcome, i'm really interested. the thing top gear did years ago about holding the fob near your ear and unlocking the car from further away than normal works but this one i'm clueless as to whether it would... so some one try it

burnzy

i'd like to try it but atm my alarm is sitting here with me in my bedroom

Touching the keyfob ON to your head,turns your body into a external aerial

i tried to lock my keys in the car

failed as i culdn't press the button

besides, my sapre key is just a key to open the doors, so how would it work over the phone? like a fax perhaps?

24vcossiemat

yeah but to try it just lock ya car without the keys in then get ya misses to stay with the car, walk up the road for a bit and ring her and just do as its says, put the fob near ya phone and ya misses put the phone near the lock and try it. if its gonna do it then it will do it without locking ya keys in

burnzy

it wouldn't work with you spare key if it hasn't got a fob dojj , and you can do it with the fob you have lock you car take the keys out of range then try it, i think the phone carry's the signal and then transmits it out the other end how and why i don't no

fiend

iTrader: (1)

Why near the lock? Surely it doesn't matter where you put your phone, as the alarm module will be under the dash somewhere.

Kris_23

Most comman way its done is when you put the keys in the boot and shut it when the rest of the car is still locked, say when your putting shopping in the boot.

Read the post first line says only works if you have two remote fobs.

Mk1-stu

you don't even need to be 400 yards with mine, 6 ft and you've got no hope

i'd like to see the outcome of this too !!

24vcossiemat

thats true, never thought of that. well you know what I mean..lol.

24vcossiemat

yeah but the only reason there saying ya need 2 fobs is because if ya only had 1 then how the hell are ya gonna do this with ya only fob locked in the car. but to try it ya only need one.. lol

burnzy

between me and the valeter we did this on a cabrio at work i'd been rushed over to do a wheel change or summit then had to get back to finnish what i was on, i left the boot open but keys in it then the valeter came over to finnish the job and shut it without taking the keys out had to take half the car apart to get into the boot

dojj

iTrader: (3)

ah, right

so i lock the mrs in the boot and then try to phone her before i get arrested right

24vcossiemat

pmsl mate. lol

burnzy

yea but dojj iirc you get atleast a couple of days before the police will get notified so i'd give it a go you might have a chance to perfect it in that time too

you can sit in the lounge infront of the computer or telle and try it too when your ready that is.

even better wife and kids could go in

dojj

iTrader: (3)

best not try it eh, she might ruin my load cover

24vcossiemat

lol

AlexF

dear god think about it people...

You phone converts sound to radio to sound again....

your alarm fob transmits radio....

Its not going to work is it

cheeky dog

lol

Drewman

Maybe a stupid comment but if the radio signal is coming out of one phone and INTO the next phone, maybe the alarm would pick it up on the incoming

fuzzy

how would you manage to lock your keys in the car in the first place? youd need the fob in your hand to press the button?

burnzy

some cars will auto lock clifford are a big culprit

my mates esco does it after a min or so

24vcossiemat

not all the time, you can shut them in the boot, this was a common call out when I was in breakdown recovery

1.9 xr2 on 40's

well i just did it and it works














ok i didnt but you haters nipped up dint ya

Steven_RW

Haters? you mean people with a basic ounce of intelligence. The two are rather different.

Infra red comment is hilarious too - Infra red, remarkably turns to sound waves, picked up by a microphone that is moved by sound pressure waves, then is transferred to a digital signal by the phone and appears out of the other end of another phone, out of the speaker, which moves in free air to create sound pressure waves and remarkably, MIGHT JUST create infra red... HAHA

What planet are you dafties on?

i once put the keys to my old evo down in the boot and then closed the boot without thinkin. i was at a show in donnintgton and it took about 12 guys 4 hours to brake in without damaging the car. wish i has a spare blipper haha.


the 12 guys by the way was like one at a time having a go to pick the lock and slipping things between the seals and stuf

AlexF

maybe

but given your alarm remote, by law, works on a different frequency to your mobile phone its not a maybe its a no

Alex

alan12112

so this sounds extremely doubltful to me guys and i'd like to see a link to the mythbusters clip if they've attempted it


oh and what about if you did a video call on the infra-red

JohnnyB

ok infared no its fucking light.

But as you know a phone will click and make noises with speakers and shit and the same way a key fob will transmit radio signals which are picked up on the phone mirophone which you will not hear.

Only a guess

lol.
And apparently, if you cut a tennis ball in half and throw it at a safe, the thing opens and all the money is legally yours...err.. or something...

alan12112

thats actually true!!

Cos if you can throw something into a locked safe it's already open

Less.

Any fool it knoews it will not work,wonder who comes up with these ideas

AlexF

No sound is noise...

radio waves are a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

You put a phone next to a speaker and the electromagnetic waves cause electron movement in the wires and circuits of your speakers/amps.... its called interference.
