Locked out Toyota Camry
My car is locked and key is inside
If you’re locked out of your Toyota Camry, here are a few steps you can try:
1. Check for Spare Key
- If you have a spare key, use it to unlock the car.
2. Remote Unlock Options
- Toyota Remote Connect: If your Camry supports it, use the Toyota Remote Connect app to unlock your car.
- Key Fob Remote: If your key fob has a remote unlock feature, try using it.
3. Manual Unlock
- Physical Key: Some Camry models have a hidden physical key inside the key fob. Press the release button to pull out the key and manually unlock the driver’s door.
4. Use Roadside Assistance
- Contact Toyota’s roadside assistance or a professional locksmith for help.
5. DIY Methods (If No Other Options)
- Coat Hanger or Slim Jim: These can sometimes be used to unlock older models, but they can damage the car if not done properly.
- Inflatable Wedge: Create a gap in the door and use a tool to press the unlock button.
6. Preventive Measures
- Key Locator: Attach a Bluetooth key locator to your keys to avoid misplacing them.
- Spare Key: Keep a spare key in a secure, accessible location.
If none of these options work or you’re unsure, contacting a professional is the safest choice to avoid damaging your vehicle.
