Unlock car with a cell phone

Not owing a car, I thought I'd try with my bicycle lock. To my dismay, it didn't work. I then realised this was probably because it does not have a remote lock.

In desperation, I took a photo of the key on my phone and showed it to the lock, this also did not work. :cry:

By this point I was becoming sceptical so I tried HalfAce's method. I now need a new phone and the bike frame needs a touch up. :o

In conclusion, I think I might consider buying a car :-D
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
****! And to think all this time I've been using my cell phone to break the window and
climb right in.
(It's never failed me yet.)

A method I almost used this morning as I looked through my window at my keys in the center console where they always go (we don't have any need for locking stuff where I live), only to realize that my 2 year-old locked the doors last night when she was playing in the truck.

Luckily I have a spare set, and unlike my wife I don't keep them in the car. :lol:

Smitty, as you're a Cali guy, you may know. Is it true that a few years back, Volvo's on the west coast with ultra sonic remotes were being opened by dolphins?

First off, I'm Texan. I just happen to live in the land of fruits and nuts. ;)

As for dolphins opening Volvo's I suppose anything's possible here, and the environmentalists would probably like that better than using them to search for bombs. :lol:

Sorry! It's the give away CA in your location :)

Might just have been a myth but it's a good one nonetheless. Didn't know they use them for bomb finding???!!!! Then again, as you said, anything's possible :)
 
Already been re-tracked to bomb-sniffing dolphins. Don't see how I can improve on that... :-D [good job, Smitty!]
