dan_apps, If you had your key on you, you could have called someone at work; if you point your key into your mobile and they hold their phone near your car you could have save your dad a trip!  :wink: I bet everyone is going to try this tonight, worked on my mk5!

suggest it is an urban legend but I'm sure with certain car systems it can be done.

i.e.onstar systems. http://www.snopes.com/autos/techno/keyless.asp

Isn't there something similar about holding the keyfob up to your head to increase the range or if the battery is failing?

I think the whole holding it to your head works because you put it more in the line of sight of the infa red receiver, thus giving it more chance of working, rather than using brain power lol

Something to do with metal filings I believe, and I have actually seen it work using a keyfob with knackered batterys that wouldn't turn on the alarm unless pointed at my mates mouth that was full of fillings :grin: :grin: :grin:

Putting the fob to your head amplifies the signal by using your skull like a parabolic satellite dish :)
