Locked Keys In Vehicle

[Longrodder]

I keep a spare key inside the lid of my gas tank. Steve

Just a question. Newer vehicles you have to unlock the gas tank from inside the vehicle. Which you couldn't do if you locked the car with the keys inside.

[Longrodder]

Truck is a 2001 Dodge Ram...tank don't lock...but yeah, you would need to have one that don't for this tip to be very effective. Steve

Isn't that how you make little boys out of little girls?

Didn't work on mine

Magnetic key holder mounted to the inside of the frame. But with my remote starter system, if you unlock the door with ANYTHING but the remote starter remote, the alarm goes off and it won't start if you try to start it with a key. You have to relock the door and then unlock it with the remote and then you can start it with key or remote.

I have used this on one of my previous vehicles, and it does work!!!!!!

However, I have tried it on other vehicles that it did not work on.

I think it has a lot to do with the freshness of the remote battery and the type of phone.

I told a friend about it last year. It worked on his wife's Chevy Avalanche from across town

Does not work on my Tahoe though

This was just on the news...it doesn not work

[Airxsteel]

Someone call this in to the MythBusters.

So HOW does it work, on sound frequency?

I would think it would need to have the same frequency and emmit that frequency loud enough so that it can be picked up by the alarm. A cell phone would not give out enough decibls for that would it?

Don't be like me and assume by hiding a spare keyless door opener that you'll never be locked out of your vehicle.
Here we are 11:30 at night at a ramp on Lake Erie. We get out and shut all doors that some how happened to be locked with the motor of my truck running. Well no fear I have my spare keyless door opener,,,,WELL,,,,As it turns out the keyless remote doesn't work with the keys in the ignition in the on positon. This was on a 99' F-150 XLT.

We ended up making a jimmy out of a golden rule.

Sure enough after we got the door opened and shut the engine off the spare keyless door opener worked.

Just keep an extra in your bass boat if this happens to you while at the lake. they also make zip ties for this as well. Just find an area under your bumper and it's there if you need it. Been doing that for years.
