Heard about the possibility of a cellphone jumpstarting a car?

Question

I appreciate everyone's ignorance. This was a report on MSNBC.

Answer 1

No - but it can unlock doors.

if you have a little remote door latch thingy and you lose yours and someone (like your spouse) also has one for your car - hold you phone near the car door - have them hold the remote to thier phone and push the button - the sounds transmitts thru the phone and opens your door!!

Answer 2

Sorry, but no.

Consider this: if the battery in your cell phone had the ability to start your car, why would they put a battery in your car that's the size it is? Have you ever hefted a car battery? Not light. Not small, either. If they could get away with something even ten times the size of your phone battery they'd do it in a hearbeat.
