Just locked both sets of keys in my vehicle.

As I am 300 miles away from home, is anyone aware of a procedure to either
gain entry or work with a dealer on a Sat to have another key made?

Responses please???

Call dealer with VIN and they should be able to duplicate a key.
Otherwise, try a locksmith.

Call the Hyundai road service.  The number is on the back door window.  Give
them the vin number that you can read thru the windshield.

Wouldn't a locksmith's Slim Jim work, and just retrieve the keys once the
door is opened?

Used to be a slim jim could open any door in seconds.  Now, with doors
housing power mirrors, windows, door locks, some have seat controls, climate
controls, speakers and a bunch of other stuff, it is slim pickin's for them.

How did you lock both sets in the same vehicle?  Are you sure you are
competent to drive?  I think we may be doing a public service not
helping you get back into your vehicle!  :-)

Won't do you any good right now but I carry a regular metal key in my
wallet.  The alarm system will complain but the door opens.
