I do not know how to manually lock the door with the key inside. If they try to lock it using the inside door lock it will not lock because the key is in the vehicle. I will not be seeing the mechanic at all so I want the key to be locked in the car.
This is great! Thank you so much. I ordered it.
But if the keyfob will not be detected how can you lock the doors? The mechanic has one key only, the one that is supposed to leave in the car after locking it. The second key is not there.
In the "old" days, one could lock the doors without the key. To do so, you press the lock button on the inside when you get out, then you hold the outside door handle in the open position and close the doors. My '70 Porsche does that. Trouble with that, too many people were having their keys locked in the car. Thus, they changed the design so you can't do that anymore.
Yes, and really I am grateful because I am one of those people that would lock my keys in the car if it would let me. I really love that feature. I was just hoping there was a trick to temporarily override that by intentionally performing some maneuvers.
Press the lock button inside the car on either the driver's side or the passenger's side and then close the door.
Or just wrap it in aluminum foil.
RD180 Please clarify? You state you go to get the key the next day, but not the FOB. Therefore, the mechanic must of put the FOB in the car, which some say the car will not lock w/ the FOB in the car. Or does the mechanic keep both the key and the FOB, therefore, both the key and the FOB is to be picked up the next day? Could someone run a test and write clear instructions? Thanks
Press nd hold lock then press unlock twice
