Stuck without keys and need to get home?
As long as you've got your toolbox you can hack into your car's ignition, start it up and drive it home.

This video demonstrates how easy it is to hack into your vehicle's steering column, remove the ignition switch and start the car.

But it doesn't end there - next you'll need to bypass the steering lock.

This will not leave any traceable damage and is completely reversible once you do find your keys again.

To access the plastic panels around the steering wheel, the airbag and steering wheel must be removed. Then, the two screws behind the steering column can be removed.

Following the thick wires, you'll locate the ignition switch behind the ignition cylinder. Two Philips screws are removed and then the switch can be pulled off the cylinder. a flat screw driver can then be used to start the car.

To tackle the steering lock, there are two security bolts need to be removed and the ignition lock assembly can be freed from the steering column, allowing you to drive away!

Note, if your car has an immobilizer, this will be more difficult. Check out my immobilizer hacking video here:

Disclaimer: Only try this on your parents car. Using this method to start any other car could be illegal if the owner hasn't give you permission. This is not the way thieves would steal a car.
