How do you unlock your car with keys locked inside?

Answer:

Answer


Heres a nifty trick, if you have 2 remotes for the power locks have the person with the other one call you on your cellphone and hold it to the phone while pressing the button, and at the same time you hold your phone close to and facing the car.
Note: See if you can find someone that has actually done this! To date, no one has made it work. The operating frequency differences between the cell phone and the RKE systems will prevent this from working in the real world.

Answer to note: I am a manager for a large rental car company and we do this all the time when keys get locked in cars. All spares are kept at a central location about 40 miles from our branch, and rather than make the drive to get them or overnight them out, we use this nifty little trick. It absolutely works!!

Otherwise a locksmith will help, police sometimes carry slim jims, and the good old coat hanger through the window trick.
If it is a GM product and less than a few years old, call OnStar. If you have basic OnStar services, they can unlock the car remotely.
Alternatively you can try a tire iron or a brich on the window.

(2 people work best)

With a newer model Van, try a crobar--or screwdriver from the top (between the door and car-frame) then slip the plastic rod from a set of household blinds (used for twisting to make blinds open or closed) through the top and press down on automatic lock button. The rod is thin--flexible and sturdy enough to apply enough pressure to pop lock!
