Don't carelessly shut your boot....

I'm not sure what, if anything can be done to prevent this in the future ???

Some dramatic and potentially aresting ideas pop into mind. Perhaps a body piercer will install your new, unleavable in the boot keyring for you

Hiya,

Actualy i do know quite a few piercers.....but no, i don't think i like that idea !

I was contemplating a flat metal key (rather than the big bulky remote things) being secreted on the car somewhere....there are loads of plastic panels in the wheel wells which you could secure something inside for such an emergancy....The key on its own will just give access into the boot/cab not start the car etc.

If you have a spare remote at home, call the house and ask them to find your spare keyfob and keep pressing the unlock button into the phone - they need to keep pressing the remote into the phone receiver.

Put your mobile (receiving call) next to your car lock or where your transponder is and the car will unlock.

Sounds mad, but I was given this tip from a reliable source and it works on both my cars (Audi and wife's Kia Sorento). My wife laughed at me the first time I asked her to test the theory. But she then tried opening her car from the end of the garden behind the house without success, only to find that it did unlock when she "fired" the unlock into her mobile and mine mobile unlocked her car at the front of the house.
May be a bit partial to certain car marques transmission frequencies, but it works for me.

Cra*p solution if you only have one set of keys though or you lock your mobile with your keys in the car!

pretty sure this was debunked as an urban myth.
