hey guys i need some help
 

so i was showing my friend my car and i had my key in my left hand in the speaker of the car thats to the drivers left hand side on top of the steering wheel. problem is my key fell through the gaps of the steering wheel and i cant get the key out what should i do? i spent over an hour with all my friends tryng to get the key out but nothing works..Additionally thorugh the gaps of the steeering wheel there is a little opening in which i figured it must have fallen in thorugh...damn it lol:shakes head:

Seriously? I read this 3 times and I still have no clue what you're saying.

Ok, I had to go out to my car for this one.. are you saying that it fell down off the dash, into the spot behind the steering wheel (assuming the steering wheel was adjusted to the lowest position?) and then slipped down into the space further towards the front of the car?

read it a 4th time. You had your hand in the speaker and the key fell through the steering wheel?

Dude, just realized, no big deal this is where the push button start comes in.. the key will always be at hand (well not at hand, but close by) so you can still drive! Just don't park her in sketchy neighbourhoods lol

Take it to the dealer I guess?

ok so i went out and looked and tried to understand. i think i see where you dropped your fob. I would get a grabber tool like this

you should be able to retrieve it.

Can you lower the steering wheel to have better access?

:ugh2: How in the world did it fall behind the steering wheel....lol

That's what I suggest, lower the steering wheel and see if you can fish it out with a short piece of a metal coat hanger if not try to remove the lower steering case cover. for the time being manually lock your car and use the extra till you get it removed.... good luck

Theres also a tool you can get thats an extendable boom magnet that should stick to the keyring and atleast show you where it is, you snake it in there then fish it around until you hear the keys move or stick to the magnet, then slowly retract it back out. Thats what I have to do most of the time, works best with nuts or bolts or screws that fall behind something too narrow to get your hand through. :tup: You can get it @ AutoZone for $10> I believe.

something like this
you can find them at any autoparts store

yes =( idk what to do

yes it was in a low position fell behind the steering wheel in the gap and if u put ur hand thorugh there there is a little hole.. and it must have fallen through there im so screwed

i know thats what my dad said i was showing my friend the car and the key then i put my hand leaning in the speaker on the left of the steering weheel on top and slid out of my hand..lol i was like fml

If you can't do it yourself? Take it to the dealer.

I'm sure you just have to pop off some of the interior panels to access the space it's in. Who knows. Take it to the dealer -- they'll laugh at you but they'll get it out.

But yeah, they'll laugh.... a lot. I'm sure they'll call all of the other service techs and even the sales guys over to look at the car and have one big group laugh... so just be prepared for the embarrassment.

Take it to the dealer :)

you think they will charge me?

:iagree:

:bowrofl::roflpuke2:

ok i dont care if they laugh i mean i laughed at myself lol i just dont wana get chraged for stupid stuff like this...

LOL it depends... just take it in. They might laugh so hard that they'll do it for free.

I mean, this isn't a warranty issue... :icon18:

silly boy! Of course, you think it's a warranty issue? :bowrofl:

LMAO hey they shouldent have gaps like that this might be a serious problem...what if you had something really important and your life depended on it?:icon18:

Designer can't think of every possibility for people not to make a mistake!

My guess is if it was that important you wouldn't be putting it in situations where it could slip through the cracks. :roflpuke2:

lmao allrighty guys im heading out to nissan..maybe i should do a little hidden camera see their reactions? lol
