well...if you did that in Miranda carpark then it shouldn't be much of a problem, just wait and some c**ts will come and break into your car for you.

otherwise I'm all out of ideas.

:)

You could always use the coat hanger 'trick,' but if you're inexperienced, it could scratch your car pretty bad. Just give RACV a call. Should cost about $120 if you're not a member. :teehee:

there is a rumor that if someone calls you and they have one of your spare keyless entry buttons they can press it and the signal will go through the phones and unlock the car... I havnt tried it .I read it on this email that has amazing facts about mobile phones and everytinhg else on that e-mail worked.

it wont work. its impossible.

remote unlocking keys use radio signals to communicate with the module inside the car, telling it to unlock.

radio signals cannot be transmitted across phone.. only sound waves....

here is a big explnation i copied from somewhere, coz im too lazy to type shit out lol

The letter's basic premise - that you can 'beam' your car's remote lock signal through your cell phone - is the primary point of contention. The technology behind both cell phones and door likes provide the strongest argument that this should not work. While both your cell phone and your key chain remote are based on radio transmissions, they operate on very different frequencies.

Your remote door lock keychain remote works by emitting a low-power radio signal to a receiver in your car. The signal is encrypted specifically to work with your vehicle and is very hard to duplicate. Cell phones use a higher-powered and higher-frequency radio signal (800 MHz and up, whereas your remote locks operate between 300 and 500 MHz). Cell phones transmit voice and data – they cannot "carry" other radio signals, which is what this letter is suggesting (unless the author was foolish enough - or thinks you are - to believe that your car lock remote works on audible signals that could be 'broadcast' through the phone's speaker).

Nonetheless, I've had many readers write me to insist that it is possible to unlock your car doors from a great distance using cell phones - most with first- or second-hand accounts of trying it successfully. Few provide details about their "experiments," and among those that do, it quickly became obvious that they were making the critical mistake of failing to ensure that they were out of the normal operating range of the remote transmitter. There are many more accounts on numerous message boards of people who claimed to have tried it and failed.

Ive tried that, didnt work lol

never tried the phone thing.

my keyless entry thing was stuffing up(other car)not working unless i was like 1m from the car but i could be like 5m away and just hold the thing to my head and press it then it would open.

am i a Jedi?

i saw somewhere on a science show that said if your remote battery was getting flat to rub it against your skin and hold it there and then press the button and it will use you as an antenna.

or was it to get better reception with your phone.....?

that is 100% the most retarded thing i have ever heard...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
