AAA expired at the end of the month (just my luck)

how do i know if i have infiniti roadside? if my warranty is still valid does that mean i have it?

it's okay.. i already told my friend to come drop my spare fob off.. i guess i owe him lunch

I've seen this tested several times and there's no definitive yes or no.
Some models work and others do not. It must depend on the technology being used in the fob.

BMW drivers claim it works while other people claim that they have tried it and failed.

The only possible way the OP could have locked their fob in the car is if the fob battery was dead. Otherwise, not possible - closing the lid would not block the fob signal. Is it possible the key is NOT in the car? Can't you use the 2nd fob to open it?
