Any one know if this is true?

I had a friend of mine who had a remote starter (not keyless entry) added to this truck. When he parked his truck halfway up the street (and out of the range of the remote starter), he was unable to start it after about a dozen tries. When one of us walked down the street to the truck with a cell phone, and once the call was established, we were able to start the truck about 90% of the time with the remote starter.
I still can't believe we were able to do it, as I still cannot figure out how it was possible. But regardless of how it was possible, we were able to do it repeatedly with the same results when using cell phones, so there has to be a scientific explanation or phenomenon at work here. (Either that, or we were extremely lucky with our results!)
Where's Grant? This sounds like a good case for Mythbusters!
