A method and system for unlocking a vehicle having a remote keyless entry (RKE) receiver configured to receive an electromagnetic signal to unlock the vehicle. The method and system comprises sending a request for key generation information to a server, the key generation information for enabling an electronic device to generate an electromagnetic signal compatible with the RKE receiver of the vehicle, the request comprising an identifier for authentication; receiving the key generation information from the server; and using the key generation information to generate an electromagnetic signal to unlock the vehicle. The electromagnetic signal may unlock a compartment of the vehicle while leaving other compartments in a locked state. The electronic device may be on-board the vehicle and may generate the signal from a received instruction signal, preferably received from a wireless communication device. Conversely, the electronic device may be a wireless communication device. The key generation information may be received from the server when the wireless communication device is proximate to the vehicle. The key generation information may allow the retrieval of a virtual key for the vehicle from a remote computer. The unlocking may be used to deliver a package to a users vehicle.
