It is absolutely not possible to open car doors with a fob remote over a phone of any sort. The signal cannot be transmitted over a phone. This has been around and around the net in various forms, no reputable source has ever been able to duplicate.
There are many ways other ways to unlock vehicle doors remotely, mostly relying on in-car infotainment systems AFAIK.
Please explain to me then, how did my door unlock? Two adults and one teenager checked every door and hatch, everything was locked. I have a 2002 Yukon, I do not subscribe to On-Star. I have two sets of keys, mine, which were locked in the truck and my husbands that were with him 1.5 hrs away. Teenager does not have a set of keys since she does not have her license yet and no way of getting a set made without me. Granddaughters are 8 & 3. The only other explaination would be my recently deceased MIL unlocked the doors.
on my GM (2004 and 2015) vehicles if the key is in the ignition, the drivers door will NOT lock, either by the console or the remote. the other doors will lock but NOT the drivers door. so, maybe that is what happened, and in a panic with another door locked, the thought was that all doors were locked.
and we NEVER go on trips without DW and I both having key sets, and never leave a set in the car. Along with a spare key in the trailer and hidden on the vehicle.
I've used the onstar app to start the car and get the heat or AC running many a time while in a store shopping. will run for 10 minutes then shut off. doors are locked, and even if someone did get in, unless they put a valid key with correct chip code in the ignition within about 10 seconds, the vehicle will shut off and set the alarm.
