Is It True?

I heard on the radio a few days ago that someone lost their keys to the
car and by using their cell phone called a person with the spare remote,
and by activating the remote over the phone the person locked out held
their cell phone next to the door the car was unlocked. This sounds
dubious at best. Anyone tried this?

It is impossible, with any radio controlled remote. The remote transmitter
does not use sound to lock and unlock the doors; it uses radio waves.
Holding a transmitter next to a cell phone does nothing.

this is an old internet rumor going around. However if you want to
believe it, go for it.

I've heard of it, never seen it actually happen though.

Car alarm remotes trigger car alarms via radio waves, not sound. It's
bull.
