BONEHEAD move of the year! HELP!
I accidentally threw away my car keys. I have a spare key, but no spare FOB. If I unlock the door the horn will start honking...anyone know what I can do? Thanks

Aaron, if this is the actual SPARE key (the one with the chip), it will NOT turn on the alarm. If it's the valet key, don't do it. I was given a CLP as a loaner once w/o the FOB and I set off the alrm by pulling the lock open and they said just start the car with the key.... Hope this helps. I think I've tried opening the door w/o the fob and the alarm on too..

Thanks. I'll try unlocking it in the morning (incase the horn goes off I don't want to wake up the neighborhood) . This isn't the valet key...I don't think 
Now I'm just paranoid someone will find my keys since my car's sitting outside my garage in the driveway all night.

Hey did I mention I might be finding...err..getting a black cl with air bags
Sorry to hear about your keys man..but yeah the keys should just unlock and turn the factory alarm off because off the chip. All the keys should do it..at least that's how it is for me.

No, actually it's a real word, way before it meant Fresh Off the Boat:
It's the fob on your keyring.

call roadside assistance, they'll know what to do. maybe you can lie and have them tow it to your dealer who can then reprogram the new fob under warranty. yeah right, that might work.
