X reg Polo keys locked in car!!!

[Greenm3]

My friend has just locked his mums vw polo keys in her car, any body know if they are dead locks on a X-reg Polo?
If not should be simple enough. Ive done it enough times on the S2 to get in, but not sure if my method will work on the polo.
If anyone has any experience or tips could you pm me rather than give our tips to the pikey scum.
Thanks
Michael

Is there a spare key fob / remote central locking?
If so get someone with the spare key fob to ring you on your mobile from another mobile put the fob next to their phone and your phone next to the window glass - you can sometimes unlock the car remotely as mobile phones can relay some radio waves used by the keyfobs. Worth a try

Thats not a joke, Mercedes offer that service in germany.

You just call your dealer, and they relay an unlock code over the phone that unlocks your car.

Cant remember what the service is called but my mother in laws brother works for them and told me about it. Quite a good idea if you ask me.

Bo - get a grip... That is a completely different thing to trying to pass RKE signals down the 4kHz audible spectrum of a mobile phone handset... Such highly equipped Mercs essentially use mobile phone spectrum to securely address a comms system in the car and relay an unlock command to it remotely. The yanks have it too under the 'On Star' branding - you can use it to make emergency calls for breakdown or accident recovery - its just a mobile phone integrated into the car with a simple data interface.

thats it - they use the GSM cell network to relay their signal to the car

You could extend this principle to OBD over GSM of course - technically its completely possible to do - just by using phone as a modem to remotely extend the RS232 interface... If you could be bothered.

If you can see the keys you can pull the door pillar out and with a thin wire try to poke the key fob button.seen it done many times..
