From: Rob on 4 Jun 2010 12:41 A colleague said that a Skoda garage told her she could phone a friend (in possession of her spare key) if she ever lost hers. It would unlock the car. Is this possible? Rob the Gullible

Apparently, if the friend many miles away blipped the key fob into the phone, and my colleague held her phone near her car, the car would unlock. I don't follow how the signal can work over a phone line. But then I barely understand shoelaces. Rob

She was told this when she went in to get a spare key - �57 against �120 at another Skoda garage. The car's a 2010 Skoda Fabia. |
