How to Open the Trunk When the Key is Locked Inside a Nissan Sylphy Classic?
2 Answers
Simply open the front door and retrieve the key directly through the middle passage of the rear seats. Technical unlocking or ghost unlocking methods are non-destructive but may harm the door frame. Professionals always opt for the first method; ghost unlocking is only used when lacking technical skills or when door locks are damaged.
Recently, my own car had a similar issue where the keys were accidentally thrown into the trunk and got locked. As a long-time owner of a Nissan Sylphy, my first advice is not to rush into trying to force the lock open, as it might scratch the paint or damage the sealing strip. Stay calm and think about whether you have a spare key—it's usually safest kept at home or in an office drawer, and having a friend or family member bring it over is the quickest solution. If there's no spare, immediately contact a Nissan 4S dealership or a professional locksmith. They have specialized tools to insert a hook through the car window gap to pull the door lock open. The cost is reasonable, around a hundred bucks, and it takes about half an hour. For prevention, I've developed a habit of not putting keys in the trunk but keeping them in my pocket instead. Also, consider getting an extra key and hiding it in a magnetic key box under the rear bumper—it’ll save you trouble next time.
