Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car

This coded lock system is written into the software of the central locking system at the factory for the JDM cars. The Japanese cars are not furnished with the alarm system that is standard on the US cars. The US cars don't get the "keyless door opening" that is popular in Japan. Nor do our European cars get it either. You would have to put in the JDM security computer to make it work, plus you would need to fit the JDM door handle system so you could input the code for the computer to unlock the doors. Not an easy thing to retro fit, I imagine. Joe

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
Thanks Joe. Sounds like it would be a lot easier to pick up a JDM car

That's about the shape of it Paul.

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
I just unlocked my 92 teal a couple of days ago. It took me less than a minute using a Greenlee steel fish tape. I use it for pulling cable through walls. I did not get a door key from the previous owner. I have a battery drain and came out to work on the car to find it locked.
I never lock it so I assume it locked itself due to the low battery condition. I want to dispel any rumors I have read regarding either door lock having the key code on them. I removed both and they do NOT. I have also gone to the local Subaru dealer with my DL, title and the VIN and was unable to obtain a key number because the originating dealer never entered it. What else can I do? |

What can change this is if the ignition barrel is changed because of theft or other problems, then the ignition key will be different, but the original ignition key will / should still operate the 3 outside locks. Can you explain what is the problem with your '92? Do you know for a certainty that the ignition key and lock was changed? Joe

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
This may be fodder for another thread. If my information is correct, I am the 5th person on the network to own this car. In reverse chronological order, it was owned by me, JaySVX, TomSVX, pnyklr, and Boxer6SVX. I think Tom replaced the ignition switch. If he doesn't post, I think I'll PM him about it. Regardless, I have a key (not original) which works in the ignition only. I wish I knew more about what caused the battery to drain. Is this a common problem? I'll search previous posts for a possible cause/solution.

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
Very true, but there are add-ons for aftermarket alarms that allow you to install a key pad... i recall one company that was even going to release a tape that you apply to the inside of the glass that illuminated with the numbers when you press... I imagine it wouldn't work well in winter, but I thought the concept was really cool... much better than some ford like key pad sticking on the outside of your car
...the handle trick is nifty, I had no idea it was available on the SVX... anywhere.

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
Thank you. I did consider that possibility while looking at the tumblers. Do you know if this is a specialty by certain locksmiths? The cylinders are small so I could ship them.

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
Sorry took so long to reply. Havent been on in a while. You should be able to take it to any locksmith. If they are a "Locksmith", they should have no problem changing the tumblers to fit the key.

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
Years ago when NRMA were selling CarCom, I got that. Because I got a keyfob for keyless entry, and my car had central locking, I rarely ever leave the keys in the car.
But, if I were to ever lock my keys in the car, I just call them up and get them to unlock it remotely. It's great!

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
actually hiding your keys on the car is the first place a thief looks. alot of people know that people will hide keys on the outside of there car in case of a lockin, and they scoure the car to find them.

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
Yup, just now.
Started her to warm up while I hung some washing. Alarm/Immobiliser kicked in and locked the doors, even though it was slightly ajar. Normally I have to deliberately activate it with the remote when I'm in the car and its running. Thanks nice Mr RACQ man. *smiles ruefully* am now off to WOW to try and find out what make the alarm is... and to get a spare key cut....

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
Guilty.......Left the keys in one I was working on with the windows up. When I reconnected the battery the alarm system turned on and lock the doors on me. I used a wire hanger to pull up the driverside door lock, but everytime I started to open the door it would relock. Had my father open the passenger door will I held up on the lock.
