Pull on the emergency release to quickly get out of the car.
To shut off the alarm:
Inside the glove compartment, up top, there is a place where you can insert the key of the car. Insert the key of the car, turn, and from what I remember of the Viper video the alarm should go off.
How the hell did he enter through the rear hatch?
The battery on the fob must be dead. For replacement, look in your owner's manual for the size of the replacement battery.
Hope this helps!

There's a latch on the top of the door on both sides. It says emergency exit or something like that.

Rule of thumb that works for me -- when you replace batteries in your smoke detectors, do the same with your fobs.

Had this happen not too long ago (key fob not working). I also took the battery out and reinserted it...with success. I then drove straight to the Dodge dealer to buy extra batteries.

second day I owned car same thing happened to me.(except for the trapped inside part) my fob battery was dead also.
Then a few weeks later, I accidentaly left the keys in the ignition (turned to accessory). Came back a few days later and the car battery was drained.
Doors wouldn't open and I didn't have the keys to open the hatch since they were still in the ignition!
thank goodness for the spare set in both cases!!

If the fob won't work you shouldn't have to crawl into the car from the rear. The emergency door releases are located so that you can reach in and release the door from the outside after you have opened the hatch with the key. It pays to read the owner's manual or review the video (if you have one)!

This happens to me every few months and it is NOT the battery in the key fob or the car battery. I'll arrive somewhere after a longer drive than usual (like heading to the city on a date), get out, and try to LOCK the doors and it won't work. Nada. Zip. Lock the doors manually, and then try for an hour once we get back to get the doors to unlock with the remote. Finally works, and then acts normal for months again. I have A)turned around and gone home, where it works fine after another long drive B) changed the fob battery during one of these episodes to no avail, and C) reprogrammed the remote about a thousand times.
Any advice on this, oh guru's of emergency-release???

Not to worry. The car battery will die eventually. Just slip dad some food through the hatchback every few days.
Oh, BTW...my wife has just gone into labor. Can anyone tell me how to proceed? I don't want to miss this afternoon's car show.

Shame on you for thinking of something else other than your wife at such a very important moment
