Hi folks,I have unfortunately locked my keys in the boot of my Superb Mk3 hatchback Anyone know how I can get in the car without breaking a window ?

You've posted in the wrong place to get many answers (this is about the site forum rather than the cars) try 'Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)' forum as it seems lively enough in there. - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/299-skoda-superb-mk-iii-2015-2023/

 

I can only think of the second set of keys (never think of them as the "spare" set, alternate use of both sets) or calling the breakdown services, unless any of your customers are car thieves as I'd guess they might have your car started and opened in a matter of seconds.

 

Good luck. 

Help! Anyone help locked out of Superb Mk3 hatcback, Keys are in the boot ! 

Never unlock the car and then place the keys in the boot if a door hasn't been opened, as once the hatch closes it will automatically lock.

The car is designed to auto - lock after 30 seconds if a door hasn't been opened, ideal incase you accidentally unlock the car (very easy to do with the later key fobs as the buttons are flush) whilst the keys are in a pocket or moved.

Ouch ! Can someone get the spare set to you ?

Unfortunately, even to unlock the drivers door via the (concealed) emergency lock cylinder will require the spare key.

Correction, second key not "spare".  😉  😁

 

A locksmith could theoretically pick the drivers door lock allowing you to climb through to the boot area to get the key, that will be the least destructive way of getting in. 

Unless you have a second key to access the car with. 

Moved for you. 
 

I did similar years ago on a C reg vw van. Got it open with a coat hangar. 
 

progress they say… now you just need a laptop and a scanner 

 

good luck with it all. Idk if recovery services cover this.

You'd want the key in the ignition to (?) turn the alarm off.

If you are an RAC member, then please call 0333 2000 999

However, if you are not a member, then do not worry! You can still call the RAC for assistance by contacting 0330 159 8743 and find out your options.

Why would you call the RAC if you're not a member? Might as well just ring a local firm direct and cut out a layer of profit.

 

Or come to mention it, why ring the RAC at all, they just find any excuse not to come out then send a randommer several hours later.

 

Options (assuming it's dead locked, so pulling an internal handle won't work):

 

- Get a second key sent

- Wedge the back door and slide something down to unwind the window if they're manual

- Brick

- lock pick / locksmith

- order a replacement key

 

I don't know if it's a KESSY thing, but my car won't lock if it detects keys inside or in the boot.

 

I've tested it too.

 

Test 1 (boot):-

With the car locked, keys in hand, open the boot only using the button on the boot. 

Leave keys on boot floor.

Press button on boot to close.

Boot will close however it won't relock, and will leave the boot popped.

 

Test 2 (interior):-

Whilst sitting inside the car, leaves keys in centre console.

Exit out of the car and touch the door handle to lock the car.

Car will not lock.

Sounds like an improvement but I would not go testing it when the boot or drivers door lock microswitch fails, not if but when!

 

 

ŠS Mk3.FL can be Lock/Unlock through MyŠkoda app

 

I did this to my MkII and had to call a locksmith. The locksmith picked the lock and commended the security of the Superb. 
 

I now have 3 keys to my MkIII

Guess op got in then …

Resurrect thread .... so we are on holidays and the car is full and so I leave my carrybag in the boot and we go do some errands ... I park the car, we open the doors and get out, remove items from the boot - not my bag, close, the normal stuff ... all is well ...

I open rear left door to retrieve something, close it and immediately the dreadful "strak!" of the locking mechanism is heard!

We in the yard in proximity to the car - woman, mother-in-law (!) and me look at each other with a pang of uncertainty ... like "what has just happened ..."

Any attempt to re-open is futile.

Thanks to a inspirational moment by the Lord above, I had decided to give a 2nd key to SWMBO to keep in her purse - her purse was I'd say out of range in the moment the drama unfolded.

Hey presto, open with the 2nd fob and like nothing had happened.

But in true, how did it happen?

I read I am not alone in this ...

Mind you, we have another two car with KESSY, lesser hierarchy cars, and this has never happened in several years of ownership, in also similar cases.

I know I made a mistake and should have left the key in the pocket, never again.

I can imagine the cold chill of fear and disbelief that you experienced in that exact second. 😰

Not helpful, I know, but I love to tell this story: we locked ourselves out of a VW Golf on the Isle of Skye many years ago. We were just around the corner from the local police station and the twenty-something constable came to have a look. In under a minute, he had us in the car.

"I wasn't always a policeman," he said.

Well put ... indeed a shadow of ... "wtf". I mean, I had stayed locked out of other cars before, and ownership of a RR P38 means you can become a stranger to the car nevermind it is yours and you use the correct key, so I learned to have it on me at all times, if doing work and key is on ignition lower a window, and so on .... yet this left me baffled.

Luckily it took me less than a minute and a couple of tries and then directly call to the woman to fish in her purse ... otherwise the holiday (which was not really a vacation, read on) in a foreign land in a secluded area and with the in-laws would have quickly developed in a hell-on-earth scenario ....

However I see here and there posts of people with same cases, almost always same situation ..... so it makes me think kessy does "not" cover entirely the interior of the car, if keys are in the boot it can't sense them.

That would be plausibile cause if the interior antenna/sensor/whatever is around the dash area, but then why it would lock if it was "open" already, doors and all, I had just parked it?

Most of the other cases was after "open the car, put key in the boot, car locks as no door was open" ... mine did it the moment it closed ... I need to read and pull out a code, but does the SIII has some function like "slam and lock" that perhaps I activated somehow?

I've done it before with my Passat.

My last two Skoda's I can just use my phone and Skoda Connect App to open the car though.

Stupid question, but how do you do that?

I have the connected services active, I can see the car’s data and position in the app, but I only have the status that the car is locked or unlocked; no option to lock or unlock it!

Thanks,

Nick

Thanks Bud,

No toggle on mine, guess my car’s running an older version of software.
