Please if anyone can help.

I have a 2001 Firebird Convertible....I don't have my standard door key, only my keyless entry. My doors are locked and we think the battery died - so the locks aren't opening when I use my entry keychain. If anyone can help me get the doors unlocked or the hood popped please let me know!!

We've had some successful lock picks at Bitburg and Nürnberg before ... especially the 'verts aren't very safe from the wire-attacks ...

If you call them, I will pick it up for you and mail it MPS. I would hate for you to have to pay a locksmith every time your keyless remote stops working.

Do you have ADAC? If so, call them, IIRC it's free ... (but may take a while for them to show up ...) Plus you can get a jump start the same time ;)

Did you think about crawling under the front of the car and reaching between the radiator shroud and engine block. You can reach the hood latch from there. Some times you can ge a pair of vice gripes on the cable and pull it to release the hood. Worth a try.

yup :) we got in the car....

1. No cutting, slim jimin' or breaking in
2. No hood pull with vice grips

We used voltage from the starter to the battery - enough to pop the doors with the keyless entry.

So, it might come in handy if it ever happens to you - you dont have/lose your door key and your battery is dead and your doors are locked :hammer: :rant: :shock:

I'm still tracking down my door key and US Military Mart are @#$%!

I will have to drive my car down there to see if any of there keys there work. They are just mad because they didnt SELL ME the car and I bought it off an ad and he pulled the car from his lot (with me there, lol)
