Emergency lockout procedures and prevention

Tags: #alarm

If locked out without a spare key or fob: (1) Check whether the installed StarLine alarm has a GSM module — if so, it may allow remote unlock via the phone app ¹². (2) Contact a professional door-opening/locksmith service — this is generally faster than retrieving a spare key from elsewhere ³⁴. (3) Prevention: always carry a spare key, or rely on remote unlock when available. Some owners have been locked out mid-drive after forgetting the key in the ignition ⁵⁶.
