locksmith works but wen i/friend gets locked out, i use 3 tools. crowbar, flathead screwdriver, and wire hanger. first i take the screwdriver and i pry the top out a lil, enough to put the pry bar in most of the way, then i pry the door open alil more and slide the screwdriver down a lil more and keep doing it until its a little pass where the door starts slanting down. then i just take the hanger and go at it. bend the hanger a lil less than 1 foot from the end and go at it..keep trying till you hit the switch. also while your using the hanger, try to have a 2nd person pry the door a lil open so its easier to manuver

Just be careful when you pry on the door, because i have seen some doors get bent that way, and the top sticks out a little bit after... i would say just pay for the lock smith or be a real man and cut out your spare tire area and climb in thru there

break a window and get another one from a junkyard
or call a locksmith. I'm sure they have 24 hour ones
like mountainbikeair said, I'd be careful about bending the top of the door frame if you try that
This is why you need to hide a wire somewhere on the outside of the car that is tied into the door unlock system. Then you just ground that wire to the chassis and you can get in (if the battery isn't dead).

I love my gxe and its keyless entry, I'm going to miss it when I sell it. I think a locksmith is your best bet its a bit of $ but it gurantees little or no damage to your car, instead of using crowbars and such(no offense to xnyc and his methods). good luck with it

Do you have any other Nissan keys. Try using one and wiggle it around really good. 9 times out of 10 it WON'T work, but maybe you'll get lucky. When I used to valet park and a knucklehead would lock in a key, we always tried this first. Ive seen it work on a few ocassions.

thanks guys for all your suggestions, but they're all so harsh!
locksmith = money, cutting out my spare wheel well = haha wtf
I pulled on the door at the top enough so that I could just see the cloth from my headliner, then my friend pressed the unlock button with the wire hanger
"why did i sell my car" i loved my damn keypad *waits for craig to install one/make writeup*

might as well get a sledge hammer and punch a hole in the door to reach in.

That crowbar nonsense will most likely mess your ride up if you're not an experienced hoodlum. Next time take a screw driver to the top of the glass and bend it so you can reach down and unlock the door. Very rarely does the glass break. This is how most theives gain access to locked non-accord cars.

the few downfalls of this procedure though, are extra work, not knowing how to install the window, havin glass stuck in small crevisis in the door, or in the seats that are very hard to get to with a vacuum, cutting ur self, havin microscopic shards of glass all over no matter how many times u vacuum, and also i dont think it should be done if you have tinted windows.

Or just doing it the way I did..
heres an idea, how about breaking a rear quater glass, and reaching in, and simply unlocking it. shortly after, going to a junkyard and getting the same window u broke, for around $30 if not less. open the door panel(dont know if required on 3rd gens), replace it yourself, vacuum the whole car(and inside the door) being careful not to cut yourself, close everything up, and your done. as mentioned above if the locksmith is $50, you saved 20 bucks, and vacuumed ur car
