Does anyone know if Honda or an after market manufacturer make a keypad to unlock the doors on the '07 Civic EX? My Daughter has a bad habit locking her keys in the car. We have always own Fords with the outside keypad, so she had never had to think about making sure she had the keys growing up.

Thanks Tom

I was looking first to something like the Ford OEM keypad that can be installed in 5 min without wiring or taking the door a part. Maybe there is no such animal for the Honda's. Looks like the $55 for the keypad on my FEH was a great deal considering the work involved with others.

She locks her keys in her Honda on the street or in public. She wont have a Honda left to worry about.

When I was about 17, I locked the keys in my car. I tried and tried to use the clothes hanger to get the door unlocked but to no avail. My brother offered to help. I went in to get a glass of water and a few minutes later he came in with my keys.

He had duct taped the entire window and pounded it with a hammer. Yeah, I was upset but I've never locked the keys in another car.

I carry a spare key in my wallet. It has saved me dozens of times, as the key chime for my Taurus bongs anytime the door is opened (key in the ignition or no key).
