you can very easily pry the window open and unlock the car with a wire clothes hanger.

Did you buy the car with the keyhole cover already on?

if you bought it like that, i bet the key hole is hidden behind the plastic.... did you at least try to pop it off... if the cover breaks... its like 25 bucks for a new one..... i never heard of someone totally removing the key assembly.......lol

+1... I highly doubt the previous owner replaced the actual key hole itself. use a flat nose screw driver with a cloth wrapped around the tip to try to pop the little cover, at the end of your door handle, off.

fold a microfiber cloth and jam it to hold the door handle in open position and you will see a tiny clip thing... use a flat head to pop it and pull it off.... i bet its there....

i've done the keyhole delete and trust me, it is not worth it to remove the whole assembly....lol

This has been talked abt numerous times. Its just a cover, but if someone was crafty and needed a driverside handle but only had a passenger handle to use then maybe there is no keyhole.

Check and let us know what you find!!!

or maybe the previous owner bought a jdm left door handle assembly for a 100% key delete since they have the keyhole on the right side............

This is possible. And if this is the case, the previous owner is an idiot.

you have no choice but to call in someone to unlock it and afterwards, get the keyhole assembly installed and put the keyhole delete cover back on..
