  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Bought a 22 G70 from the auction. Battery is dead. Keys locked inside. How can I get in it to retrieve the keys and charge the battery?

Use the physical key from your second fob (if you have a second fob). If not, you'll probably have to have the car towed to a Genesis dealership so they can open it.

You should be able to use the app to unlock the doors too. I would imagine there's enough juice in the battery to at least unlock the doors (unless it's totally dead).
 
Did you check (Carfax, etc) why it could be sold at an auction? Seems really strange, since they're in short supply. Hopefully not the beginning of worse issues due to accident or flood damage. And no, without the physical key, you won't be able to open it yourself. Maybe a locksmith. Good luck.

I called a locksmith and they opened the door
