    Tricking the Central Locking

    My sister left her key in her car and locked all the doors (miraculously) and that was the only key. all doors are locked except for the trunk which is open. I know two options are to give the dealer the title and VIN and wait a week or two for them to make a key, I could take the trunk lock to a locksmith and have them make a key instantly, or I heard I can short out a wire in the trunk lock to make the central locking think I turned the key to unlock the entire car.

    Anybody have any experience with this? Which wire is it and what do I do to it? Should I apply direct power to that certain wire?

    There is sensors on the lock mechanism of the trunk lock, pushing up or down on the actuator should do the trick

        If you go to the dealer, then can probably get you a key in a day or two. Not weeks.
