Defeat New Car Tech by Using a Wire & Wedge

I was locked out of my car at the airport a few weeks ago, and had to call for help.

A gentleman showed up with these primitive tools, and as I watched I realized how ironic that all the electronic this and automatic that can be defeated using a wire and rubber wedge.

How it works:

1 – jam the wedge between the door’s window jam and frame, creating a gap
2 – slide the wire through the gap
3 – use the J-hook on the end of the wire to unlock the door

Sorry for the grainy photos, it was like:

Guy – woah wait, are you filming this?
Me – no no, they’re just photos, it’s okay.
