Best Answer

Remote controls are designed to operate with specific devices. Normally, a television remote control will not have the buttons to operate a DVD player. However, some manufacturers have television remote controls with DVD controls built in and a player from the same manufacturer can be controlled by the same remote.

In addition, there are several third party remote controls that can be programmed to operate a wide variety of devices allowing one control to operate several different pieces of equipment.

Will a remote key operate the doors if another remote key is in the car?

No the other key will not operate the door when another remote key is already in the car.Same key has to be used to operate the doors. Edit(razor512): If a car comes with 2 remotes for the alarm and the door locks, then both can work at the same time, even if one of them is inside of the car. The area where things get tricky is if the remote for 1 car is working on another car. In which case, the factory used the same code on more than 1 car, or someone used a radio monitor able to listen at the frequency that the remote runs on. The signal sent out by the remote is then recorded and replayed in order to spoof the remote. (this is why it is not the best choice to get remote starters, someone monitoring the frequency range can pickup the door unlock signal as well as the remote start signal, then replay it in order to do malicious things to the car (though this should be rare since most criminals are idiots)
