So I locked myself out of my car cuz of the slam locks, accidently left the keys in the center console and slammed the door shut. Is there anyway to open the door from the outside if i dont have a spare? or someway to jimmy the door open without calling a locksmith of some sort?

 

dealership didn't hand you over a spare? that kinda blows... i dont know what to tell you...

 

It's for this very reason you should have a spare.

 

Call the dealership. Give 'em your key code or VIN and they'll hook you up.

 

Call Mazda Road side Assiantant

18008661998

I think they can come and open it for you, but they will "probably" charge you, since its your fault that you lock urself out.

and expect to wait at least an hour for that.


(what happen to the valet key anyway? you suppose to get 2 keys, one FOB and one for valet)

 

They did for me. He put me on hold for like 10min. When he got back on the phone he said if you can get a ride down to us I'll hold it for you. I was like you rock! \m/ Guess they have that key for the "Repo Man"

 

throw this at the car window, the lock will pop right open

 

what slam lock are you talking about?

 

slam lock?

the rx8 doesn't have a slam lock. What it has is that it will auto lock the doors if you accidently unlock them and dont open the door handle. For instance...

I have the habit of as i'm walking towards my car to unlock it from a far distance. If i unlock it and take too long to get there (30 seconds i think) it will lock back up again. maybe that's what happened.

 

ur only supposed to get 1 fob and a valet?

i got 2 fobs and a valet...

u could always call triple A.

 

I got 2 fobs and a valet as well...

 

is he still locked out of his car?

 

yes. he has been waiting out in the desert (roadtrip to las vegas from MD) for 2 days, & roadside assistance has yet to show up. his laptop w/ wireless died, so he cannot access the forum, & his cell died a few minutes ago when i was talking to him on the phone trying to help.

 

if i had to wait 2 days i think i would get angry and break the window...

If u get to contact him again...wish him good luck from me.
