keys locked in car...

may seem like a stuipd suggestion but try calling somebody mobile to mobile who has the spare key then get them to blip the fob down the phone.. hold the phone over the bonet in various places and fingers crossed the doors should open.. it travels on the same frequency as a mobile... PLEASE let me know if this works!

Get some plastic banding from off of cardboard boxes or pallets and fold it into a loop and shove it down in-between your window and the seal and try to hook and pull

This is how the RAC got my keys out when I locked both sets in mine a few weeks ago. They opened the door by about 5mm from the top using airbags, but you could pull it with your hands and wedge something in it I reckon.
It would probably be cheaper to smash the rear window and buy one from a breakers, than calling a lock smith out at 1am!

FRONT WINDOW. FRONT.
Replace it yourself, cheap as anything, not bonded in.

Smash passenger front, i had to do it on mine the other day. People give away the glass for free they are so common. Not to hard to replace once you are shown how.

This works. Have done it many times at work although may be bit late telling you that now.
No need to smash a window, long rod to hook the door handle and bend the door back carefully.
Ditto, always though the clio was pretty unlockable by accident. And I had a spare.
If the doors are shut but you open the boot then the car locks itself

Had the same problem a month or so back, got in by bending the top of the door out (Causes no permanent damage) getting a toilet roll centre (The cardboard bit) wedge it into the door gap and get a metal rod, push it through the cardboard not to damage the paint and press the central locking button on the dash.
You wont get it first time, you will need to be patient but this is what any locksmith will do. You will need a fairly long and reasonably strong rod.

This works through CCTV. I was in my brothers shop and i tried to open the clio through the window of the shop it did not work. It did when i pointed it at the monitor.
If the boot is open and the doors are shut it locks after 30 seconds ish

Now ive got to try this.
So if I get out of my Clio, close the door, open the boot and wait thirty seconds, the car will lock the doors and lock the boot when I close it? You sure?

I've got a clifford alarm and immobiliser, so if I rev the engine past 3k and the doors are closed then it locks. This is what happened to me when I thought I heard a rattle and got out to check under the bonnet.

Thats pretty funny i knew the phone thing worked but using cctv thats some pretty lateral thinking!! or the product of considerable boredom

I'm going to guess the latter :L
what i did was straighten out a metal coathanger, pull the seal out from around the drivers side window, heat the end of the coathanger and let it melt into the toggle on the door that comes up and down when you lock/unlock it (hope you know what i mean) once its set in just pull it up... a decent breakers yard will give you another toggle thingy for a quid, easy as to change it.... hope this is helpful to you mate =)

blimey never heard this method before, quite amazing really!
If i get my keys locked in the car, or if i think i have left it unlocked, i simply ring BMW, answer a couple of security questions and they can unlock or lock it for me via satellite, and it costs me nothing

A client of mine is a car locksmith. If you can't get in yourself then maybe get him round?

That is awesome... technically though they could hold you captive if they really wanted to, from anywhere in the world. Perhaps it's their plan to take over the world and lock all the important people in their 7 series'

Sounds weird that. I've never heard the doors lock in that situation. I would have been shafted many a time, if it did!

Mine locked with the keys inside even though I had opened the drivers door. I was having car battery issues, so I think the battery died and the locks engaged. There's nothing else I can put it down to really.
