Default more bad luck!!!!

Any idea on getting the keys out? I have never locked my keys in this car because i always use the pad to lock it. somehow i left the keys in my car and now its locked. I tried a closehanger but the windows and locks arent working. I pushed both but it doesnt work?

I know i can call a locksmith but thats $100.

well if u can find a buddy, and he has an extra keypad, you can take it apart, take the battery out, and put it back in, then you can reprogram his keypad to your car(in the car manual). that will unlock your car. then u can reprogram it back to his car. obviously park the cars a few spots apart while doing this to make sure which one you're programming at once. just a thought, its an easy way to avoid payin if u have a friend w/an f-body.

take your title to the dealership with 2 forms of id. they will enter the vin# into the computer and cut you a key on the spot.

come to think of it call them first and see what you need to verify that it is your car- no use in making 2 trips. this will cost you like 10$ for the key

don't have to be in the car. stood ten feet from my car and did it. works like a charm. dealership charges you $35 bucks to do it.
