Grabbed a few things from the trunk and by the time i realized the keys were still inside i had already shut the trunk. I didnt purchase the TL from a dealership and I only have 1 key/fob.. anyway to get in car/trunk??? recomendations as to a locksmith that wont jack up my car??? (Forth Worth area) any help or advice is greatly appreciated?

 

Just have him let you into the car with a slim jim and hit the trunk button

 

^ +1

 

So it is possible to slim jimmed without it being damaged?

 

so can i assume all the other doors are closed and locked?

 

I'm also going to assume the doors are locked.. if not you can hit the trunk button below the VSA switch. You can also pull down the rear arm rest, open the trunk pass through, reach up and pull the lever to open the trunk

[unless i'm thinking of a different car.... that should work]

 

I believe you can get a key made at the dealer from the VIN.

 

Yes all other doors are locked and windows closed...

 

call AAA or the police, both should do it for free or at least they have for me.

 

After you get into your car I'd recommend keeping the valet key in your wallet as a back up key. I wonder is Acura TLC roadside assistance will pop the lock?

1-800-594-8500

Good luck.

 

Call acura TLC, the number is on your driver sidewindow, i just had this problem a week ago. They sent someone out and did it for free. They said i was covered up to $100, but the guys said they charge $180....i paided nothing!

 

dont use a slim jim, you can fuck shit up with an idiot trying to do it.

call a locksmith that uses a blood pressure cuff looking thing(but its alot stronger than that, and made for auto's) to open the top of the door and slide something in.

or you can do it yourself, get a blood pressure cuff, slide it into the door, put a wooden door stop in the opening, use a slim metal object to hit the unlock button and your done!

 

I wouldn't trust po po to do it for you, they aren't "trained" or pros in it....

 

This is your best chance to get another key cut. Go to dealership with proof of ownership and ID, they will cut a key for you, and there you go you got another key!!

 

Thanks for all your help guyz, I am having a key made at the dealership for about 12$... its not a chipped key but it will unlock my car when i need it... again thanks for the advice and tips..

 

Activate the "Trunk Monkey" ASAP!

 

Ok, I towed for 5 years and that included doing lockouts. I would much prefer going through the inside of the door panel. You are MUCH more likely to fuck something up (scratch interior) by doing your method. That is assuming the driver is good at lockouts...

 

damn good price right there... but why doesn't the key have a chip... how lazy of them

 

^i was going to tell you to do that too. its just going to be a regular key but you can't use it to drive...i'm sure he could gotten the key with chip but he'd pay extra extra and with car not at dealer they can't program it

 

^^because it will not cost $12^^

 

If there is no chip in the key.. then why do it at the dealership can't you get some crooked locksmith to just cut it for you? It would hell of lot cheaper.

 

Too bad the TL doesnt have a feature like the RL have.. The trunk wont lock if you forgot your keys in it =o

 

Ahh this has happened to me twice at school.

I had to call my mom to come bring me my other key.

 

lol

I did this once at my house but I just walked inside and grabbed my other key.

 

happen to me when i was out of the state!! i had to call the locksmith. he came with a clothes hanger thats all. lol i said how the hell are you gonna open it with this. within 5 mins he open the door. the alarm went off and i poped my trunk got the key and disarmed the alarm

 

Oh my gosh, this reminds me of when I was dumb and just got the car. I locked my keys in the trunk, but my doors were open so I was like whew I can just open the trunk from the inside. So I spent hours (at night) to find the trunk opener and never found it, then I just assumed that we didn't have one (dumb of me). I ended up taking another hour trying to use a hanger from the rear seats opening the panel and pulling the keys out using my laptop screen in my trunk as a light! Than once I got the keys, my friend found the trunk opener. Now thats a FML moment.

 

I once locked my keys in my car in the ignition, with the engine running.... I had to call a friend of mine to come pick me up to get my spare key at home, took almost 2 hours total. Good times.

 

^^^Hmmmm, now if I can find the spare key my wife lost, that would work for me........

 

the best thing to do is go to a locksmith and buy an Honda HD103 blank. this blank is pure metal and pretty slim. Get it cut and stick it in between two credit cards in your wallet. Total cost, 5 dollars.

 

wtf champ.. lol.. it would have been hilarious if you couldn't get your key + the valet switch was off so when you did hit the trunk release it still wouldn't open... ahh..

Well I haven't had a moment like this before (knock on wood).. but my buddy and I were out & about several years back and when we parked we got out of the car to go eat.. well.. my dumbass buddy, H.S. valedictorian and only B.A & M.A. Summa Cum Laude in his Poly Sci Dept, left the keys in the ignition with the car running and yes.. doors locked.

We had to call his sister who was seeing a movie with her boyfriend to bring us the extra keys. lol.. man I'll never forget that.. not quite as bad as some stories my other buddy (tow truck driver) has told me though.

 

I've actually done this once too. The scary thing is that for this car, it is impossible to lock your keys in the car, and yet, I still locked my keys in my trunk. Completely stupid or what (me that is, not the car)?

 

I've never done these things.

 

I scare myself sometimes

 

lol.. well do what I do.. stop looking down. *bad pun intended*

 

I once locked my keys in the middle of the road with the engine running. We was going fishing in the 95 integra. it was a far walk to the fishing spot on the bridge so i decided to park the car in the middle of the road to unload tackle and lamps etc. the car was still running and someone the door was lock and shut. lol thank god i know how to break in to old hondas within 5 mins

 

I did this with a rental car in Orlando once. Call a company called Pop-a-Lock. They pry the window open a little with an inflaitable bag then use a tool to pull the door lock up. It took them about 5 minutes and cost me $35.
