Had problem recently with a Ford pickup in security mode. This resulted in not being able to use the unlock button with a long reach tool. The new pickups have a handle that is squeezed and cannot be pulled. Decided to make a new tool. Took 2 small size air wedges used a piece of tap to hold the bottom together and connected them together with a “Y” then to a piece of tubing (Break Line works great). Placed the inflation bulb on the other end. The tool is placed into the door handle on the inside of the vehicle and the inflated. it will mimic squeezing the door handle. even if it does not open the door it will push the lock button up enough for you to grab it and pull it all the way up.
I like your creative thinking.
I have been able to get the tip of the rod into the pocket behind the handle and twist the rod enough to open the door. Great fun after the deputy has given up on getting in.
Slightly older, wiser, but not the most skilled, Lishi is what I like best.
