However, standing a good (viewable) distance from it and holding it to your head and pressing it works, it turns you into a human antenna for the signal to boost through.
Didnt Jeremy Clarkson do that on TG once?

Lol, I doubt an operator would offer something like that.
And yes, he did, but I've heard it before/tried it since and it does work.

Any car locking system that was to use sounds would be just as secure as any other system, and imho there have been car alarm systems design using sound frequencies, but the majority use RF.
My Peugeot 405 uses infrared. Theoretically, it may be possible to open my car remotely by having someone call me by video call and pointing the ir beam of a spare fob at their videocall camera, then I would point my screen at the ir receiver. Digicams work in the infrared frequency (which is invisible to the human eye).
However there may be too much attenuation of the ir signal by the time it get's to the receiver to work effectively.

Well, apparently it's a hoax that's been around since 2005. Check out this link:

the car might nt get unlocked by som1 at home pressing the unlock button of spare key
but i have indeed seen a system where u can use a cell phone itself to unlock the car, lock the car even start the car
u have to put an external device in the car which picks up DTMF signals frm the cell phone keypad. u can also program tht box for different combinations
e.g. u can program the box so tht if sum1 presses 123 , unlock the car..
i have seen a system like this actually work. it was a final semester project for a group of electrical engineering students.

it was like a kit you install in the car and you manage it with your celphone.

I guess it could seem to work if you're parked outside your own house.........
