Post how you got it out

VegaTSX

I locked myself out of the car before not my TSX, What i did was called the cops they came over ask me for my info and everything make sure it's not stolen or anything. Then they just jimmy the door open for me.

^that's the typical way, but I noticed with our car and other Acuras is that there is a high chance of them damaging the window trim.

ninjamyst

Did you call Acura roadside service and have them unlock it for you?

rex.

lol maybe he tried calling his parents and they pressed the unlock button while he pointed his cell phone at his car

TacoBellSauce

My guess is hood cable from under the car by the grill.

There is a way to unlock your car via cellphone. It sounds crazy, but if u lock yourself out of the car and u know of someone that has access to your spare all u have to do is have the person take the remote and press the unlock button(while having you on the phone) and then u in return place the phone close to the infrared receiver and the signal will go thru the phones and unlock the car. I know this sounds far fetched, but Ive seen it with my own eyes before and almost sh!t myself when the car unlocked. Give it a try!

LOL!!!! Is this a bot or something?

Lol I've heard that as well...not sure if it's true though.

I could never get this to work (is there a trick?). I'm pretty sure that our remotes use radio frequencies, and I don't see that passing through a cell phone very easily.

Granted, I've never tried it with my TSX, but I've tried it with other vehicles and didn't have any luck.

that DOES NOT work.

I can't believe people still think that this works.

I've looked into this... it seems very well protected.

The fob uses RF not IR to unlock the car. These are different frequencies than are used by the cell phone or transmitted by the phone. This is not phyically possible.

I would be interested to know how this was done. Did you just rock the car untill the keys fell out the bottom?

davidspalding

Admit it. You were hoaxed.

Sent Tinker Bell in after the keys.... ?

rofl @ responses.



locking keys under hood=no no.


there is a less damaging way to get the hood popped without jimmying the window.

PACman

^^Do tell (me in PM ofcourse).

moda_way

How about posting it....

Let's face it, you aren't the only one in the world to get a TSX open without a key.

Besides, I haven't locked/closed a thread in a while and my trigger finger is getting very touchy.

spoonfedhatch

by all means lock the thread.


i've sent an open invitation to anyone who wants to PM me on access through the hood, ask PACman...


there have been too many wandering eyes through the forums anyways

Duelly noted. PM spoonfedhatch if you want the details.
