Lol you have no idea Tomcat

Yeah I do, any fool can get in within seconds with a house brick, however getting in without causing any damage takes a little longer (unless your a trained locksmith like your good self).

A tip which may help a few folks in future...

If you happen to lock your keys in the car, or lose them, you can open them with your spare remote fob, even if the spare keys are not with you.

Provided there is someone who has access to the spare set, call them on a mobile, and have them lock/unlock the fob, whilst holding it to the mobile phone.

Hold your mobile phone to the car door lock/sensor, and voila! I didn't believe this when I was told about it but tried it, and it works on my S40. Also worked on mates Subaru!

Saves using a Govan key (aka a brick....!)

I was thinking more of asking the average 14 yr old that will be in in seconds tomcat

That brings a whole new meaning to "remote locking".

I will try that tonight - if you are winding me up I will be most annoyed!

Sounds too good to be true....

I'm also waiting to see if its worked, im intigued

I'm not BS'ing!!!

I first came across this when we were doing a course in Craik forest. It's something which the guys doing the assessing passed on - one of them had first hand experience of it and proved it, by demonstrating on a timber harvester. Given that those things are worth about £300K, I thought it must be right!!!

Works on my S40 who's locking/unlocking on the remote ain't the best!

Reminds me of a problem I had years ago with my company car - Rover 420SLDI. If the mobile I had at the time went off in the car and the doors were locked with the remote, you couldn't get in until the call finished. Got bloody soaked a few times

All these things do emit signals - sometimes good, sometimes not so good...!
