The communists were doing that in the 1950's with pens and cameras. They made entire people just disapear! You don’t really need Photoshop to do that kind of work.

Fox news actually did a news story not to long ago on cell phone capability myths and truths. The big thing here is the fact that most remote fobs use RF (Radio Frequency) signals to send the information to open the door. Those definitely won't work over the phone. However if your fob uses audible signals in the range of frequencies that cell phones are designed to transmit, there is a chance that the remote cell phone fob unlocking might work. Even with audible signals though, some of the sound frequency is outside of the range of human hearing, and according to my wireless communication hardware class, most cell phone companies actually attenuate the range of frequencies that they will carry so that you don't even get the full range of audio frequencies that the human ear can hear, in order to save bandwidth (since most people won't notice the difference in voice quality anyway). Add to that any garbling of sound due to noise or low cell phone signal areas, and the rarity of audio based remote fobs... and it may as well be a myth.
