call the stealership and see if there is any way they can get into your car. be it doing somthing under the hood to unlock the car or maybe have a universal thing to get into it. its worth a shot. good luck

It is possible to get keys cut for your car....very expensive though. There is an air pouch that AAA sometimes uses to crack your door open a little and hit the unlock buttom with a slim jim that way. Other than that, I have heard of the easiest way to break in being breaking the glass or drilling through the keyhole....either way costs money.

Success!! I joined the RAC (AAA type of company here in the UK) and they got into the boot in less than 30mins without damaging anything! It was really impressive!

The guy fiddled around under the engine for about 10 minutes and then all of a sudden, all four electric windows opened! The doors where deadlocked so they wouldn't open from the inside but he was able to remove the lower part of the rear seats and tap into the electrics which release the boot lid.

Best £150 I've ever spent...plus I get 12 months cover...bargain!

Thanks for all the advice guys.

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
do you lock your doors before you close them? or did it lock automatically? what happened? i'm curious
