Locked keys in my car...

[NTRA08]

I just got a 3/16 rod from home depot and bent it to push the lock button

well with my 88 i dont have to hold the handle to lock it....

pull out key.... hit lock.... shut door .... check to make sure it locked... thats my routine

1.) Just go get your title. It provides proof of ownership and VIN # witch you need for the next step

2.) Have a friend or taxi drive you to a Toyota dealership.

3.) Walk to the parts counter at toyota

4.) Tell the parts guy you need to have a new key cut from your VIN #( code key cut).

5.) Give the nice parts guy $11.22 + tax for your new key, and say thank you.


That is how I got my new key

This!

On top of solving your problem, it also supplies you with an extra key for the next time this happens.

Lol why would they do that? I like it. And I didn't know if u held the handle up it would stay locked lol
It's like an anti stupidity lock lol

Pretty much every car before the 90's had this feature...





As for going to the dealer for your new key, it's hit and miss. My girl had a new key cut for her 1990 corolla, but they said that's as far back as they go, so us 89 and before guys are screwed. Also when we tried the key, it didn't work, since the locks were so worn..

They also asked for proof of ownership, which if you keep it in the glove box, is utterly useless at the moment..

Keeping the title to your vehicle in the glove box is not a good life choice.

My dealership would ask for the registration as well. I am thinking he meant that.

But ya, NEVER keep your title in the car. Ever. Really bad idea.

 

[RazoE]

yup, registration is what they ask for, sorry should have been clearer..

Thanks for all the ideas guys. My brother got into it while I was at work today. A local had something that made it really easy....

Just get a long sturdy nail and drive the little thing through the floor into the rear release button by the bottom driver seat when the rear hatch pops open crawl in through the back.
Reseal the tiny hole with pain & body filler.

I would never do that to my Supra! but thanks anyways!

Dang Dude! You had some bad luck too!

Call me if still haven't gotten in it...

Yeah it really sucked! Christian came through and helped us out

True Dat, I've opened other MKIII's with my key................seriously. Find another owner in your area and give it a try.

We tried 3 different Supra keys, no luck lol

 

[mickgarvey]

well of course the window wont want to move very easy they dont want to make it even easier than it already is for crooks lol, and that nail idea is pretty creative

 

[TuRbOdReAmZ87]

Just smash the window and buy one off me its fine. lol
