emergency unlock / spare key?

More likely scenario is lost keys not keys locked in car.

In that scenario a keypad wont help anything...unless its raining out I guess

I hide my key behind a screw in the license plate.
If the ignition key requires a coded key I put that in the glove box.
You always have a quarter or nickel. Near a store to buy a screw driver.
Saved my family now for over 30 years and it is NOT MESSY.
You must drill a hole in the key. All 4 of our cars had them at one time.
Kids are married and they still do. CLEAN

Not a bad idea except when some jag goes to steal your plates and then you end up losing the whole car with them...

They steal your SUV before they steal the plate. Besides the key falls to the pavement.
I leave my screw in pull plate up away slide key off keep screw in hand unlock door get keys
go back put spare back behind plate or rescrew plate on and use key till I get a new set
and auto opener then put key back behind plate.
Haven't lost a complete set only lock outs

I thought onstar was satellite based. Have you ever pushed the blue button when you were in the secluded location just to see what happens.

Onstar is cellular based. Uses the 4G-LTE radio
The Navigation is satellite based.
