Went on a call to this car. Battery was down on car and he had lock the door with the key. My guide said from 1991-present they can't be opened with car opening tools. Found out this was true. I would like to know if anyone else has ran into this problem and what did you do.

You can apply a jump box power leads to the positive side of the starter and ground. Then unlock. Or apply power cables to the trunk light.

I also heard years back that there was a way to trick the car into thinking it was in an accident (without setting off the airbags) and the locks would open. had to do with accessing the engine compartment, disconnecting (something?) to disable the airbags and then rapping a certain location with a hammar. Never tried this and not sure if the info was true or not?
