Car key transponders have become a standard feature in most vehicles. They’re convenient—you don’t have to fumble around looking for your keys when you need them—and they protect your car from theft. But what if you lost your car key? Or what if you just don’t want to use the key fob to open your car? In this article, we’ll show you how to open a car trunk without using a key. ###
What You’ll Need
In order to open a car trunk without a key, it is necessary to have the right tools and know how to use them. The most common tool needed for this task is a crowbar. Other tools you might need include a screwdriver or a wrench, depending on the type of trunk lock. Before starting the job, be sure to clear any obstructions from around the hinges of the trunk so that it will open easily.
How to Do It
If you have a keyless car, there are a few ways to open the trunk without it.
The simplest way is to use the trunk release button on the door. Most cars have this located on the inside of the door near the handle. Just press and hold down the button while inserting your key into the ignition and turn it until the car says “TRUNK” on the dashboard display. If your car doesn’t have a release button, you can try using a screwdriver to pry up on either side of the hinge that secures the trunk lid. Alternately, you can remove one or both of the screws that hold down each side of the lid with a Phillips head screwdriver. Be careful not to damage either part of your car in this process!
Tips for Success
If you want to open a car trunk without a key, there are a few tips that will help you accomplish the task.
First, try looking for a do-it-yourself kit that includes a tool to pry the trunk lid off. You can also try jiggling the latch or inserting a thin object between the trunk and lid to twist it open. If all of these methods fail, get help from someone else. A friend or family member can hold the car while you Pryopen the trunk with your keyless opener or use another tool to break into the lock.
