Default HELP! Keys got locked in car from that auto locking function

Don't have any spare keys because I bought used. Is there any way to get the lock open with a hanger?

What Auto Locking? If you can get to a Honda Dealer they may be able to get you a new key. Otherwise you can call the police and have them break in. Just watch them to make sure they don't rip the seals.

when you open the door and don't start the engine, it automatically locks the door

Mine doesn't automatically lock. That's not good. I've seen them where the locks engage after the car hits a certain speed.

The only time my doors auto-lock is if I unlock them using the remote, then don't physically open them, 30 seconds later they lock. Never heard of a car that would lock after you open the doors but didn't start the engine? Sounds like you may have an after-market alarm system and not be aware of it.

Anyway give the local Honda dealership your VIN, explain what you've done (you may need to show additional proof of ownership) and they should be able to look up your key code and make you a new one.

where in the car are the keys? maybe you can poke the remote with the coat hanger.

or hook the unlock latch(which could be hard)

just dont trear up your window seals or the leather in the process...
