Here we go... This is exactly why I dont normaly post on these threads because some people just have to toss out the myth card. If it is a myth, then why did it work for me the last three times my keys got locked in at the car wash? Believe what you want..this is just not worth arguing over I was just trying to help. I personally dont care and obviously dont have time to explain radio wave propagation to the non believers.

J-GUIDOSS if you try it or not, thats totally up to you, either way I hope you get your car unlocked without having to spend $$ on a locksmith or having to leave your car where it is to go get your key. Good luck!

What u do is get yourself a AAA membership about 50$ a year for roadside assistance includes tow's tire changes, fuel, and door unlocks and they also give u a plastic key to keep in your wallet to open the door but does not start it

I knew it was just a myth but it didnt hurt to try it anyways ..thanks!

I did this leavingbwork. Taking my coveralls and what not off and throwing them in the trunk. Key went in too. Fortunately I had unlocked the car first, so all I had to do was push the button. But it was a close enough call to activate my onstar, and will leave it active. (Was plannong on doing it anyway just hadnt gotten around to it.)

My only option was to call Chevrolet and they sent out a locksmith for free(Roadside Service). I stood there and watched him do it and he was careful not to scratch or damage my car.

I called GM road service..didn't help. He couldn't get access through the window. Is GM the same as the chevrolet dealership service?

This situation is exactly why I keep a spare key or the fob on a separate ring from the main key, and make sure that they all are in the pockets of the pants I'm wearing. Nothing wrong with a low-tech solution that costs you maybe a couple of bucks, once per car.

I made it a habit a long time ago to put my key back in my pocket before opening the trunk after unlocking it.
I haven't locked a key in any of my cars since the 80's.

KidKilowatt · 06-12-2013, 07:38 PM

Does your insurance offer road side?? Or pay for locksmiths?

tom231 · 06-12-2013, 07:39 PM

This is exactly why I love the key pad on my F-150.
