Help - locked key in boot (trunk)!!!
 
Hi there...my first post is a cry for help!!!

I've just bought my wife a 2003 Audi A4 but it was only supplied with one key and yes, you've guessed it, I've managed to lock it in the boot! A locksmith has just spent a hour trying to get in but was unable to. My question is this: If I call my local Audi dealer, will they be able to make me a key based on the Chassis number of the vehicle?

Many thanks,
Glenn

I dont know if Audi's can do it but with some newer cars you can unlock your car by having someone call you and press the unlock button by the receiver of the phone. ex: I have the extra fob and you are locked out the car at the store. You call me while you are next to the car and i press the unlock button and waalaa your doors unlock.

I've heard about that too but I don't have an extra fob.

i never understood how people did that.. do you lock your doors before you close them? or did it lock automatically? what happened? i'm curious

I needed to put the spare wheel back in the boot so I released the boot with the key fob and set the key down in the right handside storage compartment inside the boot. After I had secured the spare wheel I shut the boot lid and walked away, leaving the key inside! DOH!!!

Easily done.....I suppose. :(

Just break into the car instead and hit the trunk release on the door. Or did the locksmith originally try getting into the car instead of the boot/ trunk?

yea there is like almost no locksmiths that can break in to audis they are crazy to do and not many have the skill, as for a new key you can get one but they are laser cut in germany so it takes like 3 weeks to get
