Default Help with WS6 Keyless Entry

Actually, I know what the problem is. I left my radar detector plugged in the last time I drove my CETA, now the battery's dead(of course) and I can't gain entry to the car because the doors are locked and I have no door key.

Do dealerships allow people to bring their vin's and make door keys? Is the WS6 inner door mechanics easy to Slim Jim?

I'm taking a trip this weekend, and my forgetfulness has caused me great stress. Any help on the matter is immensely appreciated!

vin#, proof of ownership and a valid I.D. that's what they needed at the Dodge dealer ship. took 10min. to cut a new door key. ignition re-keying takes longer because of the chip i think. *info deleted *

info removed for security. if you lock your keys in your car, feel free to P.M. for steps to get the doors open with very little to no damage

OK. It looks like I may have to just peel the window away from the car then. All of the owner info except for the CE artifacts(pen, tire guage, etc.) are in the car.

This is such a PITA for me to deal with. The battery's basically new, but will die at a moments notice of the radio being on a little too long. This is inexcusable, though. It's been 5 days since I last turned the car on.

I braved peeling the window back and used a piece of angle iron to push the manual lock to unlock. I really, really, really didn't want to do that, but I have to use this car over the weekend. I appreciate the advice, and from here on out I'll be keeping most of my owner's info in my home.
