Locked out..need help quick.

[lolcantturn]

Yep this week keeps getting worse.
I locked myself out. I have a Viper alarm system installed by the previous owner and I didn't know that if you wait like 25 minutes, it'll actually lock the car by itself.
I had my keys inside along with my phone cause I was underneath the car and I didn't want to crush them.
Central locking works perfectly. The trunk is open and I have access to the hood via screwdriver. I don't know what to do. I can't break glass cause I'm out of money. I can't call AAA cause I have no membership and no money. I can't seem to puncture the rubber seals and get a coat hanger through. And I can't seem to squeeze those plastic heavy duty bands through the windows either. The only thing I can kind of manage is lifting up the parcel shelf in the back (2dr), but that's it. Ski pass is closed off.
Hellllllppppp. It's not too important to get my car open, as my brakes don't even work, but my phone's in there.
I'm thinking, if there's anyway I can possibly jump the central locking so it'll open...but I don't know where to start or if that's even possible.

If it's not double locked(shouldn't be) you can back feed power/ground through the wiring from the trunk/gas cap lock circuit and force the front doors to unlock. I usually use a 12v/14v dewalt drill battery and some clip leads. ;)

What do you mean double locked?
the trunk just closed by itself..fucking wind.

double locked is when you turn the driver's door lock cylinder as far to the lock position as it goes. The key slot will be horizontal. Works great if you want to lock your car with the windows open as there's no way to get the doors open if you're double locked.

Double locked = fucked.

It's also nearly impossible to do without the keys outside the car so you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Glass isn't that expensive...



Seriously, though, good luck. Maybe you can open the pop-outs (if you have them) and use a wire or something. The other thing to do is to use a wedge to pry the door a bit and get the coat hanger in. This runs the risk of bending the door or breaking the window. At that point you'd be pretty pissed that you didn't take my first bit of advice.

sucks that the trunk closed (and locked). You could have SUPER easily unlocked the whole car from the trunk. Just take the carpeting off the back of the trunk (behind license plate) and push down on the mechanical lock actuator behind that metal beam that sits right in the center behind (in front of?) the license plate.

Also, I unlocked my 318is w/ a coat hanger. it is a MAJOR PITA but I got it done. Remove window moulding/trim that is right outside the window across from the lock thing (pin/rod/knob whatever the F its called) and bend up a clothes hanger so it goes under the window and back up and attempt to push that pin up from the inside. I did it in like 2 hours. woohoo

Call BMW with your Vin number and they can cut a spare key. You will need the title to the car though. key costs $15-30. Easiest way and you get a souvenir for when you do it again ;)

[ck_taft325is]

Key cost me $70 when I had it cut. Assuming your locks haven't been replaced, it's a viable option.

Or, a lock smith.

First time I ever locked my keys in the car was when I decided to join AAA. Called them on the phone, gave them my CC number, got a membership number, 15 minutes later the my car was unlocked.

[quikveedb2]

I think a spare key from the dealership cost me like $55. As mentioned before you do need your title, which is a good reason not to keep it in the car. I also have AAA, which i got after I paid $55 for the key from the dealer. I think a year of membership is like 70 bucks...
