I feel stupid.

I'm am probably going to regret asking this, but I locked my keys in my car with the radio on. Is there some kind of emergency release somewhere on the car? Please, be gentle.

As far as I know there's no such emergency release available, otherwise the thief would be the first one who's thinking to take advantage of it. So, find a locksmith or remember that you have a spare key. Good luck

Step 1: Take a large brick, (a medium size rock will work as well)
Step 2: Apply the brick/rock with sufficient force against your driver's side window.
Step 3: Reach arm in and unlock car

But seriously, what ^^^ said, no emergency lock. Time to call a locksmith.

Exactly how many times have you locked your keys in the car?

Tools needed:

wedge shaped wooden or polyurethane block,
36" straight rod, coat hanger or welding rod works good.

1. Insert wedge in between door frame and roof of car near the front of the door
2. Using force on the top part of wedge (pressing away from you) pry the door out away from the car, while pushing down on wedge. If you do this right you will have wedged the door open slightly.
3. Slip rod in between weatherstrip and the door/roof edge. Use rod to hit the power lock button inside your car (you might have to bend it to reach, be creative)


This works on a disproportionately large number of vehicles, FYI...

It doesn't work on any car which disables power to the inside options after the key is removed. (GM has a 15 minute timer unless the door is opened, etc)

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage you do to your paint job. I am also not responsible if your sorry n00b a** gets busted for auto burglary or any other crime. Kthx. Have a nice day!
