I was packing the car for a trip recently, left my keys in the cup holder, and managed to lock the car with the keys inside. This was weird because I didn't think it was possible as the owner's manual says it's not, and I've left my keys in the cup holder before. I have a second keyfob but it was in the car as well, as I'd packed it in my suitcase as I don't like just having one set of keys when heading out of town. I was able to get back into the car by having a new key made at a GM dealer, so $20 and one hour later was back in the car, and it could have been a lot worse.
My G35 has a special wallet key with a smaller head meant just for this. It's not a bad idea having a spare key, I now have it in my wallet, and I actually used to keep a spare key in my wallet of my previous cars. I'm now wondering if this was a fluke or if it's worth turning off auto locking? I do like the auto locking and it's the only problem I've had with it after having the car for over a year.
