Burnaby:

You left your door unlocked again. You've got to stop doing that.

Don't worry, I got your back. It's locked now.

THERE'S the likely answer. People who have tried this on other forums have finally realized they were still in range of the fob transmitter.

Don't try it in front of your house, etc.

Tried it on 2 of my sc430, Ls460, mercedes s500 it doesn't work... Just tried it to shut this thread down and disprove you... Its common sense that frequency does not travel threw cellular phones or amplifies... The fcc already regulate cellular phones so this kind of stuff wont happen...

My contention has not been whether or not it works, but rather why I should even care...

And I don't know if you noticed, but his right rear tire is a little low, too.

Karrie, Torey, and Grant come up with the definitive answer on Mythbusters.

Hang on. Let me lock Burnaby's car before we watch.

That link yields up a very informative video of two of the ruffians tazing each other. Don't think it opened any doors ...

Hey, don't taze me bro.

I guess you have to jump through a few hoops on the site.

Choose "Mythbusters Uncut" on the left menu, then choose the "Cell Phone Remote" episode.

Doc, your directions suck , but I entered "cell phone unlock" in the search box and finally got it. It just confirms what we've known for some time ... it doesn't work!

That whole web site sucks, actually. It is really awful to navigate through. Need to employ better web designers.
