hi I always assumed i can open car door with physical key. I used allenkey in hole in the fob physical key to apply force and put some oil on the key and tried everything. Anyone tell me to open it is clockwise or anti clockwise. As key go in both direction. One time it opened half way and something got stuck. But now it do not even do that What is going on? Any other way to open front hood?
I thought a long sin you know 5:30 seconds or whatever metal rod can go in between the window frame gasket and the a pillar or whatever the center post and go right in and pull the lock back with the bent 90 on the rod and then grab the door handle and pull on it and well the door comes open and then you pull the hood release I believe that's right that's what those little airbags and nonsens are for that you pump up in between the center post and the upper corner of the window frame and all that right? I thought that was generally how it's done I haven't ever had to do this as I make sure my mechanical key once a month or every so often I just pull it out of the fob and check it to make sure that it's lubricated and it's working just in case we never lock our cars anywhere except in the big city which is every few years where we live front doors and cars don't get locked really most criminals aren't coming after a 20-year-old Prius that everybody knows or a pain in the butt anyway they're looking for escalades or they're looking for my catalytic converter which we have had none of those stolen yet either But other than that that's how I would try to get in mine I guess if I had to I haven't tried this but it seems that that would work It's worked in Corollas which are very similar buttons and similar cable activated door handles.
