One of the things I love about the S2000, is that it is basically impossible to lock your keys inside the car. The thought never really crossed my mind tell I almost got outta my car without grabbing my keys. Then I realized it couldn't happen.
It definitely can happen. Leave your keys in the trunk with the top up or a hardtop on.

even if you lock them in the trunk you can still go inside and hit the trunk open button!

you can easily open the top from the outside to gain access to the inside. but if you lock ur compartment then yea ur gonna be SOL cause u cant open it without a key.

Does anyone else hide a key under the car? I guess if someone knew or looked really hard, they could jack your car, but not having to live in fear of auto-lock is worth the risk. It has also saved me a few times, most recently being two months ago when I was already having a pretty crappy day.

Oh, I do recommend putting heat shrink or electrical tape on the bittings to keep the key from rusting.

I just used roadside assistance through my insurance company to call pop a lock...

Figure those ungodly high premiums with 0 tickets, 0 claims should net me SOME good... (****** seat thieves + FL FAIL).

To reduce some of the risk with keeping a key under the car, couldn't you just have a key cut but not programmed?

This would get you into the car should you lock your set of keys in it.

How do you open the top from outside the car? I did manage to find the secret compartment, but I haven't heard of this one. Someone PM me!

i would publicly post how to open the top but see it was a security issue because its an easy way to get inside and steal items in an s2000.

if you want to know just PM me.
