Along with our paychecks we received a piece of literature with cell phone tips and tricks. One of them was how to use you cell phone to unlock the car. It sounded like a sham but we tried it out on a Dodge Dakota and sure enough it worked.
There are a couple of conditions for this to work. Your vehicle must have keyless entry, both people have to be on a cell phone, and the other person needs to have a spare FOB (keless entry remote). If your keys are locked in the car simple call the person's cell phone that has the spare FOB. Have them hold the FOB next to there phone and press the unlock button while you are holding your phone near the drivers window of the locked vehicle. The door should unlock.
when I read this I was thinking the same thing you are, NO WAY. Seriously, last night we unlocked and locked the Dakota several times from our business office.
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
