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.....?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
