Locked My Only Car Keys In My Car

BlacklistedXR · 05-11-2007, 07:54 PM

yesterday i had to move my AU XR8 out the driveway so that i could take my dads AU falcon to work. when i moved my car and got out of it i locked my car with my dads key only to realise that my keys were sitting on my seat.

: i tried opening the door with my dads keys and it doesnt work. is there any way to program AU key pads to work on other cars and does anyone have any suggestions to how i should go about gettin my keys?

there is no other way to program a key put to have your car turned onto accesories!

mate, just call the RAA or RAAV whoever you have over there! ... they will have a toll to get into it!! or you could trip your system, but that requires a long peice of copper wire!

Or smash one of your windows! A front door window is cheap from the wreckers, and easy as to replace. Only pain will be cleaning the glass. Plus you'll get to enjoy smashing something.

pretty easy to get into...youl need to gentley pry the top of the door back and slide a long bent peice of wire (around coat hanger thickness) and grab hold the door handle and open....I work for the RAC thats how we do it but i use a small inflatable airbag to pry the door back a bit and we have all sorts of wires etc made up...just about all cars are pretty easy to into falcon being one of the easiest......if ya not sure id just ring the RAC hey or you might damage something....

sorry to say it but why have you only got 1 key??? I have 2 spares one in my wallet and one at home just to cover this kind of situation . with only one key you'll be in the $hite if you loose it. you will need to be towed to ford to get them to program a new key $$$$$$$$$$$$$ ouch

My son when he was about 10 years old locked my keys in the boot and I was about 2 hours from home (one way) to get the spare set, so I had to break in using the way that waggaclint uses, it is pretty easy to do.

Good luck with it.

Yeah thats exactly how I do it as well. Just make sure you use a rag or something when you pry the door back with whatever you use so you don;t damage your paint or anything.

ok thanks. i will try and see if i can get a poesce of wire down my door and unlock it from the inside. i always knew that i would need a spare key but i thought au falcons were impossible to lock the keys inside. thanks for the help.

i tryed to unlock itself with a coathanger wire but it doesn't fit between the window and door. looks like its upto the RAC before i smash the back window.

I only got one key when I bought my ute .. that's all that was with it.
Probably the case with a few others as well.

RACV have a special shaped wire to open AUs. I have them use it beore when I've locked my keys in the boot (Armed alarm, open boot, drop keys, close boot, car re-arms...) Took the RACV 5 seconds to open the car with alarm wailing.

so did i but i made what I see as a sound investment it's far cheaper to get it done when you buy the car than have to be towed to ford to have a new key made and programed
