Default Locked Keys in Trunk....

and I cannot find either spare. When I go or call the dealership in the morning, what am I going to need besides my vin, a credit card, and my ID to get a new key made/ordered? All I need the damn thing to do is open the trunk so I can retrieve my key from the trunk and start my car.

Also, can what kinda time frame am I looking at for getting a key? Is that a stock item or is that a order and pray for next day item.

I got all my books and stuff for school in the freakin car as well. Monday has blown.

oh yeah the car is locked.
Sequence of events:
Change light bulb in tail light
close trunk
hear car go BEEP
Go oh sh*t, i locked the keys in the trunk.

The car is locked, the pass throughs are unlocked, but there is no way to get into the car without breaking some glass and/or metal.

I just need the key to unlock the trunk and/or the interior so I can get the actual key with the right code out of the trunk.

Default Not much to pick with an internally cut key is there?

We (I happened to do this in APR's parking lot) looked at the schematic for the door to see if there was anything to use a slim jim on, but there is not. The door handle connects via a cable to the latch. No way to wedge something in there to push the unlock buttons. No way to lift the trunk up enough to push the emergency release.

I do need a new windshield though, (I have a crack where the rear view mirror attaches) so it might be the time to do that.

There is a good chance the spares are in the glove box. I used them last when I dropped the car off for service at the first of the month. Have not seen them since I switched keys back out when I picked up the car. Might have thrown them in with the receipt and service order.
