Four of us were standing in the entrance hall of Perranarworthal Village Memorial Hall (excellent location with good facilities and low hire costs: http://pvmh.org.uk/ ) earlier this evening debating the estimates of costs we had for new disability compliant entrance double doors. A decision was made. We then went off on one of those rambling conversations which included the following.
Colin demonstrated that it was not possible to remotely unlock his car at the distance he was from it if he held the key fob at arm's length from his body. However by then holding the key fob next to his head and pressing it (the key fob not his head), the car unlocked! Bet you give it a try.....
Not to be outdone Peter then recounted the story of unlocking a car in Basingstoke with a key fob in Perranwell Station. He had managed to lock his car with the key fob in it. However by use of a mobile phone call to his wife in Perranwell Station, she was able to unlock the car by holding the spare key fob close to her phone and pressing it whilst Peter held his phone near the car. If you do test this I recommend that a shorter range, probably of a couple of hundred yards, might be sensible rather than driving miles.
