Locked Your Keys In Your Car ?

[Guest XR09]

Have not tried this, but when my hangover clears a bit I might get up and see if it works.

FOUR THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER

KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD

DO !!!

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave

Emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually

Be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST

Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for all Mobile Phones

Is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your

Mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112

And your mobile will search any existing network in your area to establish the emergency

Number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even

If the keypad is locked. This works on all phones worldwide and is free. It is the equivalent of 000.

SECOND

Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good

Reason to own a cell phone:

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call

Someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from

Your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock

Button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end.

Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive

Your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be thousands of miles away,

And if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can

Unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor's Note: I didn't believe this when I heard about it! I rang my daughter in Sydney from Perth when we went on holiday. She had the spare car key. We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'

THIRD

Hidden Battery Power

To activate, press the keys *3370# (remember the asterisk). Do this when the phone is almost dead.

Your mobile will restart in a special way with this new reserve and the instrument will show a 50%

Increase in battery life. This reserve will get re charged when you charge your mobile next time.

This secret is in the fine print in most phone manuals. Most people however skip this information without realising.

FOURTH

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial

Number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #

Ensure you put an asterisk BEFORE the #06# sequence.

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to

Your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your

Phone ever get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them

This code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if

The thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won't get your phone back,

But at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If

Everybody done this, there would be no point in people

Stealing mobile phones.

This secret is also in the fine print of most mobile phone manuals. It was created for the very purpose of trying to prevent phones from being stolen.

Also -ATM PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know !!

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM

Machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in

Reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234, then you would put

In 4321. The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards

From the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still

Give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the

Police will be immediately dispatched to the location.

All ATM's carry this emergency sequencer by law.

I tried the phone unlocking yesterday. So I had my lady phone me from the loungeroom as it was pissing down AGAIN. And I was about 25m away in the garage. It worked ha ha. Then I hung up and she was still foofing away and the car was locking and unlocking. Good fob that one haha.

So still no idea.

the phone unlocking thing is funny, if only the MIC on your phone picked up radio waves as well as sounds saves... different spectrum unfortunately, or better yet if a phone signal didnt have compression to knock off the bottom and top peaks (high and low) for better transmission

in fact if this were true and sound waves from a phones mic/speaker were the same as the radio waves of a keyless system, how come when I walk through a car park talking on the phone random cars dont just decide to lock and unlock

Engineers are only good for making things complex, unreliable and design things without thinking on how someone would try to maintain, fix or sometimes even use... They are in a little world of their own..

Seriously, if anyone even tries the so called mobile phone trick, then I would recommend handing in the keys to the XR6T and buy a Prius as punishment..
