Locked keys in while running

[Ironheadspearo]

I once locked my car by habit while at a car wash in the dead of winter around 9pm at night. i was washing it in the quarter wash had the radio thumping when I got done i went to get in and realized i had locked it tight. I had to get a ride home which was about 10 miles away to get the extra key. all the while it was running with the radio blaring. holy crap that sucked. 20 years ago but i remember it well.

as far as the camaro, mine wont lock the doors until i put it into drive.

I love the copy/paste syndrome GM has when it comes to Vehicle Owner's Manuals:

Our cars only have one power door lock button, and it's underneath the radio...

I guess I'm missing something but when/if you're locked out of your car, you would have to "call OnStar" on a cel phone or something other than the OnStar phone in your car. What number should I put in my contact list for calling OnStar when I'm not in my car?
