I bought my 2007 Prado 2nd hand (ex mining) and it only came with one master key. I had the misfortune yesterday of accidentally locking that one key into the car miles away from home. I opened the vehicle, threw my keys into my bag which I left on the back seat. The car then automatically relocked itself with the master key inside? Is this a common problem? I would have thought there would have been some buit in programming to prevent this sort of automatic relocking from occuring? None of my other cars ever did this? Is there a way to stop it relocking itself?
I would like to get hold of a blank key just to be able to open the doors. I don't want a key that starts the engine or bypasses the immobiliser, just purely open the doors so I can get the master key if this happens again. I intend to hide this key on the outside of the car and use it to get into the vehicle if something similar happens again.
I hear on this forum a "grey key' mentioned? Does this open the doors and nothing else? How much and where can I get one from?
Cheers

PS For those of you who have two master keys and accidentally lock one inside of the vehicle you can ring home and ask somebody there to unlock your car over the phone with the other master key. This really does work, well on my vehicle anyway. Didn't work for me this time however as I only have one master key and that was locked inside!
