Brother locked his keys in car

Any way to lookup the factory keyless entry code online?

As if it's hard anyway?

It would take a locksmith 10 seconds to open it, at a cost of 45$.

Are there any other options?

If a pro wants your car, they're going to get your car.

But if it were available openly on the net, anyone could get his car, pro or not.

So they unlocked his car. What now?

In some places, cops can unlock car doors for otherwise stranded motorists. It's at least worth a call...

Grab his CDs and any other valuable equipment in sight???

I agree with Loke... you ain't gonna find factory unlock codes on the Internet-- even if such a thing existed (which I doubt it does).

I'm not saying they would or would not find them on the internet, all I'm saying is if somebody wants your car, or the stuff in the car, they're going to get it.

Whether it's possibly finding the unlock codes online, or busting your window, if people wanted your stuff they'd take it.
 
Also, Eli, the code would be in the following places:

The factory keyless entry code is available in several places:

1) On the owner's wallet card
2) On a sticker in the lower left corner of the Owner Warranty Card
3) Taped to the underside of the trunk lid
4) Taped to the computer module in the luggage compartment
 
I locked the keys in my car and paid around $40 or $45 for the guy to come by and pop open the car in less than 10 seconds lol.
A doorstopper shape wooden block + some metal bar with a u at the end did the trick.
It is so easy to unlock a car... Good thing I don't keep much in my car except an Escort radar detector which does run for about $200 on eBay.

I think they are hard coded from the factory,.no way to change them.
Well don't they change the code when you buy the car? I know my dad's car's code thing was changed to his BDay

You need access to the inside of the car to change it.

It's called a slimjim. The block was probably used to protect your window, or a widget to pry between the window and the doorpanel.
