If you guys have been anywhere near the pub or the LAN lounge, you'll know I've been around for a few months.
I've got a few threads about my VT olympic edition, so I assure you, I'm not trying to steal some dudes car. It's just been one of those days, and I've locked my only set of keys in the boot.
The spares are a while away, I'm home alone and noone will drive me anywhere.
SO, someone on here must have a way to get into my car without breaking any windows. Ideally, I just need to pop the boot. Failing that, I suppose I can go in through the cabin and then through the back seat, but my toolboxes and sub are strapped in there....
Is there a simple way to pop my boot lock? I realise this isn't something we want on public forum, so a PM would be much appreciated.
Jump on the roof really hard. Pops all the doors.
If it has a button on the remote, get someone to press the button holding it next to a mobile phone. Allegedly will release the lock on the car if the phone is close enough.
once your in the car you can always press the boot button in the clove box![]()
also, i dont think there is really a way into the car without breaking something.
Ring a locksmith....
So smash a window. go get another from a wreckers tomorrow and replace it, otherwise dont drive!
Edit: the 'i dont get it' was referring to jumping on the roof.
Shame you don't have a VL, you could probably open their doors with a banana.
Locksmith might have to be the go, or smash a window. unless you can pop the bonnet and disconnect the battery, I think the doors unlock when this happens.
ok,
1,the story goes,jumping on the roof is meant to unlock the car,like from a rollover etc except id imagine it isnt going to work due to the car being switched off if it was to work at all.
common sense would tell you that everyone would be breaking into vt's by jumping on the roof...
2, the phone thing doesnt work,from what i remember, they use 2 different frequency's or something like that.
sounds like your options are locksmith or brick through the window.
power or manual windows? if manual,try pushing one of the windows down,even enough to get a coat hanger/arm ect through ...
Metal ruler...drivers door mould. If you cant pop it in under 30 seconds then you're not a real aussie.

Real cars don't power the front wheels, they lift them
Brick or 5 lb mash hammer works for me.
dont happen to have RACV roadside assist? cheaper then calling a locksmith.
i had an RACV guy break into a mates falcon we locked the keys in when we went to a couple of clubs an hour away from home so at 3 am when we got out car was locked with keys inside. that wasnt a fun night.

If your front windscreen is cracked at all, well its now time for a new one :P
All depends was the car locked twice? like the double lock?
If not your in business.
I had a mate lock my keys in the boot of mt HQ once I had to use a craw hammer and rip the lock out![]()
lol...some urban myths here ok...the mobile phone doesnt work its on a different frequency if you say youve done it then id love to see it or prove me wrong and dont say youve seen a mate do it thats just bull....the tennis ball is also a bit of a urban myth however it does work but not on all cars i will say ive seen this done and i tried it on my VX whilst nothing happened it did make a lock noise like it was trying to unlock but no success....there is a way you can get in it without damaging your car it involves.....hmmmmm better not tell who knows who can read this....best bet get a lock smith or join racv if you dont want to damage your car.
