best way to get into your locked 99-04 mustang.
 

ok, so i lock my keys in my car alot, and never seem to make a spare, is there a good way i can get into my car? other than paying someone becuz its bullshit. ive tried wedging the glass and door to try n get between the handle n stuff but i just cant do it like the other guy does.. the doors are too long to hit the unlock button, and i have rain guards as well so i cant come down on it. im in dire need of help!

I had to do that once. ended up using a long thin metal rod to hit the unlock button. It took a long time and was frustrating as hell but eventually I got in.

then go make a few cheep spares. they won't start the car without the chip but that wont prevent them from opening the locks.

I've only locked myself out of a car once, my v6 mustang. Luckily I had some door lock pins that had a lip on them. Got a piece of wire, bent a loop, slid it through the window glass and moulding and pulled up on the lock pin. Another way for you to do it would be to have something like a slim jim and slide it down between the window glass and door and pull up on the mechanism inside the door.

got a hanger? use it.

lol, i've never heard anyone call a jimmy a slim jim before.

Haha, I wasn't sure what it was called, I got close. OHH YEAH!

Actually we call them slim jim's here in my town. A totally worthless fact, sure...but a fact none the less.

OH YEAH!!!! SNAP INTO A MUSTANG!!!

best way to get into your car? your car keys. :)

Don't lock your keys in your car.





/end thread

Break the window :confused:

It will be costly but after you do it I bet you won't lock your keys in your car anymore :D

glue em to your hands?

i do that a lot myself...need to invest in a spare. $160 at Ford..ughh

$160?! Hell dude...it's like $7 at ace hardware

$160 for a chipped key.. Car won't start without a Ford key that has the "chip" installed.

You can get a spare key cut without the chip that will just unlock the doors / trunk though.

That's what I'm referring to, since he locked his chipped keys in the car.

slim jim or coat hanger. I used my stock antenna as a slim jim once

if you still have the factory attenna you can use that. make a $7 spare and keep it in your wallet.


and i've heard them called a slim jim all the time. never heard them called anything else.

lol @ Evan... "dont lock your keys in your car"....

hah well thanks guys, eventually got em out.. spreaded the door away from the window on the outside edge,, and stuck a metal rod in there and grabbed the bottom of the push down lock and pulled it up from underneath.. but i gotta get a key made.. thanks for all the suggestions!

lmao, seriously.. How hard is that?

I could completely understand it if the locks in the Mustang were like the locks in my Stratus, the car automatically locks itself if the keys aren't in the ignition after 30 seconds..

...I don't even know if it is possible for me to forget my keys in my car. I'd probably have a panic attack if they weren't on my person

My car keys don't have a chip in them. ;( My SUV does I'm sure.

i thought mine didn't either, because they look like any regular old set, but apparently they do.

i've never heard anybody call them slim jims before, lol

I have. :D

yes they do....theyre small and only meant for the passive alarm system.

Went out today and followed my own advise about getting spares made to unlock the doors.

Home depot $1.87 each +tax so get a few.

Are you sure? Because I don't have a chip in mine and the car still starts. I don't even have a alarm on my car, it's hooked up to the horn. HAHA
The only thing my keys do is unlock the car, lock the car and pop the trunk. Maybe I'm just stupid. By the way I have a 1995 Ford Mustang GT 5.0

The chip is inside the large plastic cover portion. Ie. the reason it's so fat.

If you think you don't have a chip., go to home depot and get a spare made for less than $2.00 test it on the locks and then try and start your car with it. Leave the original key in the trunk (chip has to be in a certain proximity to the ignition switch) or back seat. If the car starts, you don't have a chip in your key.

If I remember correctly the guy who sold me the car said this is a spare, not the orignal one and this one isn't even close to bulky.

Staring at it now, it has a little box for the Lock, Unlock, Panic, and Trunk and it's all by it's self with no key attached. Then I have a key sperate that is for the locks and for the ignition. Which is just like a stndard house key, but actually has a little tiny black cover on it.

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have a chip. LoL Exactly like this, but actually made for my car. LOL

Ok after doing some checking you don't have a transponder key. Ford started using them in 1997.

1997-2004 Transponder keys look like this.

2005+ keys look like this.

So you're lucky in the sense that you don't have to wory about having a chipped key, but at the same time your car is easier to steal.

I'll include free programming instructions! If you don't have two working keys then you will have to go to the dealer or to a locksmith with the special equipment needed to program these types of keys. This will cost you from $20-$40 to have this done. If you already have two keys then you can program it yourself for free! Your only cost is the price of this keyblank and the cost of getting it cut.

You will save a lot of money if you plan ahead and keep at least three keys, at all times, for your vehicle. I need to point out that if you lose all of your keys and need a new one made for your vehicle then you will have to call a locksmith to come and make a new key. You will pay about $250 when you meet your local TRANSPONDER enabled locksmith and marvel in absolute wonder as you see him create a new High Security Transponder key for your vehicle from scratch in about an hour. The advantage to all of this is that car thefts have decreased since the introduction of the transponder key system. The disadvantage is that you will pay a lot more for these high security keys.

Spare key hidden under the car somewhere or on you!
I vote this as being one of the DUMBEST damn threads in recent memory!
Sorry its not like youre trying to hide a fat girl in the trunk its just a little key!

yeah,, but i needed to know possibilities,, becuz i even thought of lying under the car and sticking a rod thru the firewall and grabbing the keys out of the ignition,, i had some radical ideas and just needed some proven ideas for help.

you haven't gotten inside the car yet?

Dude either put a spare one in your shoe or wallet or something or just get a triple A card or something.

or if you want, one of thew new guys that was posting his new Mustang, I think he's new. But anyways he put a keypad behind his gas tank lid to get into the car if he locked or lost his keys. LOL

Is it really that hard to remove the keys before you get out? You turn the car off, pull your key out, keep key in hand, open door, get out of car with key in hand. Very simple. Do you not have keyless entry?

i think i have a chip in my slimjim.

i got the keys out next day. But my car has a "Secure Guard" security system in it, and its very very aggravating! Like it sounds cool when u lock the doors, but it has a motion and sound sensor in it, that are VERY sensitive, and when someone walks by it beeps at em. and if you slap my door it goes off and off and off and off and off. and i dunno how to disable the motion sensor.

why do you need 2 keys? thats just damn inconvenient
