How to Unlock a Car Door Using a Cell Phone and a Faraway Keyless Remote (Faux-To?)

Car keys held near a white vehicle.

What if you forgot your car keys and that keyless entry remote banded to them, how are you going to get in your car? Well, if you haven't forgotten your cell phone, too, you can call up someone who has access to that keyless remote, so you can unlock your car or truck via the wireless mobile phone! What?!?

Yes, supposedly, with two phones and the keyless remote, you can unlock your car by having the person who has the remote press the button over their phone's microphone, which transmits the sound to the person's cell phone at the locked car, therefore unlocking the door because of the radio signal.

Okay, this sounds ridiculous. Faux-to? But is it? You be the judge. Whether it's real or not, one thing's for sure— it still doesn't help you when it comes time to driving home.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
