This is ot but I have seen posts about locking car doors. Boy, do I have a story for you. I have been sick so I was sitting in a recliner yesterday near a front window. I heard a truck on the street and looked out the window. I watched the driver open my trunk from inside his truck. I made a police report mainly to see if this had been reported. Neither he not my Honda serviceman even knew it was possible. Why and how did someone open a trunk instead of the doors? I would find it had to believe except I saw the trunk open. Any ideas? I do not have to worry about my car growing runners because the battery is deader than a nail. The dealer is coming out tomorrow to tow it. What makes it even odder is my car battery was fine Thursday when I went to the dr.
The way your car's remote works is by transmitting a code, which your car receives and interprets as a signal to open the trunk. There's a different code to open the doors.
There's only a finite number of codes. If you go down a street hitting your remote, sooner or later you will pass a car with the same code as yours. The chance of a remote's having the same trunk code AND the same door code is vanishingly small, though.
