yea in the 2000 version it's super easy!, I remember I locked my keys in the 2000 and it took me like 2min to open my door on the new updated interior idk if it'd be as easy

 

Are you guys talking about using a slim jim inside the door or are you talking about using a coat hanger or something similar through the window and hitting the electronic lock switch?

 

I remember the early Fords having the same problem. You could take a hanger and push down right next to the lock button and it'd pop right open. It took less then a min.

 

That's why a remote starter doesn't use a key?

almost any vehicle is pretty easy to unlock with the proper tools? I hear the Mass Turnpike service trucks get dispatched dozens of times a day to deal with people who have locked they keys in the car at a service area? and it rarely takes them more than two minutes to get in no matter what the vehicle?

Their are multiple methods to open any vehicle. Some vehicles are easier than others. My el camino I could open in 10 Seconds with a slim jim.

 

I once opened a brand new Crown Victoria cop car with a coat hanger in 30 seconds! :bugeyed:

I'm by no means a 'professional' and, yes, the cop was watching me do it at the time. He was a rookie and too embarassed to call the station when he locked his keys in the car!

 

wish I knew what it was?

I know on the mazda 3 if they have the power lock feture you can push just above the door handle that the door will open. They fixed it on the newer version but customer have to pay to get them fixed on the first production run cause "it's not a life threataning flaw". :?

 

I know from personal experience that you can't slim-jim the Stealth. The locking system is shielded from the outside and the buttons are impossible to reach.

Dizzy- do you have any other info on blocking that access point? Can't seem to find anything in the archives.

 

Here was the lastest one, There was another older one floating around

I remember opening up a mid-70's Firebird with a 12-inch wood ruler that I had used for school.

So, how do I secure my '98 D?

Thanks for the info- I saw the other post was updated as well. I think it's money well spent to get the jimmi jammer, however that isn't actually how the locksmith got in.

I'm hesitant to post the flaw for obvious reasons but it did have something to do with the door.

 

We carry a few tools on my fire engine that we use for lock in/outs. Normally we pop locks for folks who have locked their keys & kids in the car at the same time. (You wouldn't believe how common that's.) Anyway, we have a wooden wedge that slips into the top corner of the door next to the "B" pillar. Then we take a metal rod and insert it into the gap between the door and the car bodt that the wedge made. The rod is about three feet long and the thickness of a pencil and has a slight bend in it. there's an L bend at one end of the rod and a C hook shape at the other. We either hook the door handle and pull with the C hook, or push the unlock button or the power window button with the L. Early in the winter season it normally takes us about two to three minutes to pop a door. By January or Feburary, we're down to less than a minute. So far we haven't had a car that we couldn't get into with these tools. And if I ever do, I have another tool that's guaranteed to get me in, however the car owner would be ticked if I cut his door off.

Yep, that's how he did it. Do you think there's anyway to secure the door more along the B pillar to prevent a wooden wedge from prying it open?

Their is a tool that can pop saftey glass in milliseconds, When there's a will, there's away!

I really don't believe so. The door is designed to move, that's why it works so well. I've opened just about every major brand of car/truck with this tool, and science is catching up to it. They now make an inflatable air wedge that you force into the gap between the door and the "B" pillar. Once you inflate the air wedge you get a good inch to two inches to slide the other tool into the car. Link to the air wedge is: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/...?storeId=6970&productId=200312515&R=200312515&cm_ven=TL&cm_pla=DF&cm_ite=safety

I had a guy get my keys out of my Chevy Malibu pretty much the same way but he used an inflatable bag. He pryed the door a bit, slid the bag in and the pumped it up and used the L shapped bar to get the lock.

 

The durango comes equiped with the tool need to break in. The antenna. Use a couple standard screwdrivers to hold the door open on top, unscrew antenna, bend tip a little, use to hit lock button. Had to do it thst way a few times on an 03.

Prop the top of the door out on ANY vehicle with this design and its easy to get in. An alarm with a kill switch operation is your best friend.
