Anyone have any suggestions for the best way to unlock my car without the key? My wife is out of town and locked herself out...

Does the door design lend itself to being wedged out at the top? I'm thinking that we could do that and then use a coat hanger to press the door lock switch on the interior door panel. Has anyone had luck doing this?

​​​​​​​Any other ideas?

 

u can do that. some cops will help u do the same. or call AAA if u have it. or locksmith if u want to pay.

 

So that someone in my family isn't faced with this problem, how do you lock yourself out?

I guess you can press the door lock button with the keys on the seat and then close the door?

 

My wife got help. They used a wedge and an inflatable device at the top of the door to make room to drop a wire inside the car. Couldn't unlock the doors, but they were able to hook the key ring and fish the keys out.

 

Yes, you can lock the doors when they are open. I've begged my wife to only lock with the key before for this very reason.

Our old Mercedes didn't allow you to lock the driver's door when it was open, but she figured out that you could open the rear door and lock ththe front door from inside that way. And she locked her keys in the car more than once as a result. Usually I am within ten miles when it happens...

 

I keep a programmed key hidden in the car somewhere [not saying where ] and for less than $25, I bought flat metal key from Honda dealer. I keep the flat metal in my wallet to get me in the car door. 99.9% of time I have my wallet when driving while off the property. Saved myself a couple of times now when I put the "driving" key on the seat to carry something and then lock the door behind me.

 

I'm NOT accusing anyone of anything...
But as a whole?
I'm really hesitant to give advice on the internet on how to best and most easily break into my own car.
