Locked My Key In The Car ( Car Still Running )

[_Ryan_]

Hamish does have a valid point although something that really stumps me is why isn't an alarm system the first thing you get when you buy your pride an joy? ~$400 protection for your $12,000+ investment sounds pretty reasonable to me

It was on the stagea and 32

club locks are/can be more effective and cheeper, if a thief is keen enough the noise from the alarm won't be a deterant. if you have a aftermarket steering wheel tho. don't bother 6 allen key bolts and swapped wheel is quicker then by-passing a alarm.

I put a imob and stuff in 1 of my cars and they still came back and stole it. (it was broken into a week before)

Hmmm i think about 8 inches when open? Wouldnt know now, never got it back

So how did the key's get locked in the car while it was on in the first place?

no idea ?

i am sure the car locked itself when i closed the door ?

the immobilser/keyless entry was on the keys

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

viper alarm?

they are american and have anti car jacking features such as the doors locking while you are driving...

BUT

as i said, they are american and hence it only works ever now and then, so you often dont notice that its there as you just think its the factory nissan one

quick relese steering wheel, lets see the bugger drive off with no steering wheel! and yeh skyines are the worst car eva designed takes about 11sec flat to unlock one and about 15sec to hotwire one with a turbo timer.

VLT has got to be easier my old VL was a joke to get into, all you needed was cutlery LOL

I think Hamish was more concerned about the instruction to pull the rubber back than the actual coat hanger to window switch part, but whatever.

LOL yeah VL's were hilarious - icy pole sticks and 5c coins use to open my neighbours

thought you would find it amusing !!!

[kspots08]

Thats ridiculous I keep a Stanley knife in the back of my cars tool box....probably should go take it out

I think its only if it is in reach when you are inside the cabin of the car. If its in the boot in your tool box none the less its alright.

A mate of mine locked his VL keys inside his car. We went and got another one of my mated VL keys and it opened the door. It even started the engine.

there's one in 260,000 chance that your R32 key will open another R32, S13, 180SX, cefiro, maxima, navara or laurel.

just rip of the plastic cover for the colum and hit the barrel down the shaft done. dont hit it into the shaft stright down it will slide down the the steering colum and wont beable to lock into place but if you engage the steering lock before you do that it makes it a messy job.

you can get gps alarms now, they have a gps device in them and a sim card that texts you the location when you msg it.

best thing to do is get a guard dog that sleeps next to it and have good insurance.

[bozodos]

do you think its wise to put information on a public forum on how to get around the steering wheel lock?

Thats pretty bad luck OP, i've seen the same thing happen on a VS commodore before, and it was eventually broken into with a piece of wire. try lockign the doors with the keys in your hand at all times maybe?
