Locked your car keys inside the car? Creat your own OnStar service for $0!

What do you do when you lock your car keys inside the car and don't have any services like OnStar? You can create your own by using your cell phone to call, for example, your friend's cell phone and tell them to press your spare keyless remote while still on the phone and this will unlock you car! I just heard this on the radio this morning but they said it will only work if you can fullfill these criteria:

1) Your car has a remote keyless entry system
2) You have a spare keyless remote stored at home, office, basically anywhere other than the inside of your car!
3) You have your cell phone w/ you
4) You are able to use your cell phone to call your friend's cell phone and this friend must be able to access your spare keyless remote. Both parties must be using a cell phone!

As your friend presses the button on your spare keyless remote, the keyless remote will send out a signal/wave to your friend's cell phone. The signal/wave from your friend's cell phone will then be sent to your cell phone and then to your car's remote keyless entry system and this will unlock the car. But make sure you stand close to your car. I haven't tried this yet but will test it out either tonight or tomorrow and will give you guys an update. If anyone is going to try this, PLEASE HAVE A FRIEND SIT INSIDE THE CAR JUST IN CASE THIS METHOD DOESN"T WORK!!!!
