locked out of your car?so crazy it works

This is good info to know. Share with folks you know.

holding

unlock

Why is it that nobody can think things out logically anymore? People can't even figure out a break-even point for a mortgage refi without the web. Creates lots of opportunities for shysters. Is the key fob so mysterious that one would believe what it does can be transmitted via a cell phone? Oh wait, I just figured out that if I press panic 4 times my key fob becomes a blackberry and I can send emails....
