kbr0125 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I made a big mistake and need to see if there is any free ways to get my key fobs out of my journey with out having to spend money that i dont have on a lock smith. Bought the journey in 2014 with the military discount and all the videos i have watched say you cant lock your key fobs in the car. I dont have money on me because i am living off of disability checks from when i got hurt in afghanistan. Is there any way to unlock it with the key fobs in in from outside, i have a appointment tomorrow and would like to have my wife drive me and not ask for rides from neighbors. THANKS!!!! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Strange it locked with them in the car. You could always try the metal coat hanger trick and try to push the unlock buttoon or hook the pull handle. Otherwise, you are out of luck and are going to have to pay someone to do it for you, or, sweet talk a law enforcement officer to get it unlocked using their slim jim. Lots of videos on you tube showing how easy it is using a coat hanger. Edited July 28, 2016 by jkeaton 2late4u and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) It's hard, but not at all impossible to lock your car with the fob inside - just press the lock button on the door handle 3 times and ignore the 3 blasts of the horn when doing it. Unlocking will require a hangar . . . when you get the fobs back make a copy of the key and keep it in a drawer in your home so you can get into the vehicle the next time you manage to do this.

2late4u Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 well if your still within the 3yr 36 k miles you would still have towing protection which i also believe it covers lock out protection, also most car insurance towing also covers lock out protection , Just a thought. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I had no idea that you could override the system by trying to lock it 3x with the Fob inside. I thought that it was impossible to do this. BTW, I feel your pain trying to live off of VA Disability checks. I have an appeal that I have been waiting on for 5 years. I think that the VA is hoping I die so they don't have to pay. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
