Lost Key (Need Help)

I lost my key today and have the extra key locked inside the car. I wanted to know what I should do. Will AAA be able to unlock the car or is this not possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

WakeCayenne is infamous around these parts
I locked my key in the car back in September. I was about three hours from home, where the spare key was located, so that wasn't an option.

AAA was able to use an airbag-type thing to pry the door open just enough to hit the "unlock" button with a long metal rod. The guy who was working on it said it was the hardest unlock he'd ever done. He was certain the window would shatter before the door would open up enough. This was partly because I have tinted windows and the windshield sun shade was up and partly because the unlock button is so small.

Good luck! Hope they are able to help you.

My mom keeps the spare metal key for her 7 in the Louis Vuitton Wallet Key chain thing all the girls have which she also has her master 7 key on. I dont get it? Keep the spare key away from the car!!! It's a sure way to have this happen

I used to keep a spare in the car, so if locked in a remote location, you can alwasy break out the window and be "saved". With it being a Cayenne not so good of an idea.....700 bucks for a rear window.............my old S10, 80 bucks.........

I've never lost or mis-located my keys in general. But it has happened w/ my lovely wifey few times, not a pleasant thing to deal with.

Glad you were able to find the key.
