.You may find this interesting and useful in the future...

One of our customers called in and told us of something he tried when he locked his keys in his car several miles away from home: Using his cell phone and standing next to the car, he called his wife at home and had her hold the spare Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter up to the phone. She pressed the unlock button and, miles away, his car door unlocked. Amazed, we experimented several times here, at the dealership, and it worked every time.

It makes sense, actually. The RKE transmits a code using radio frequency that the car receives, acknowledges and triggers the door actuators. Cell phones transmit using radio frequency. As long as you have a spare transmitter and someone who can hold it up to a phone, you should be able to unlock your vehicle anywhere in the world. Hope this helps you out of a tough spot in the future.
