    This used to work with many older Mercedes who's lock mechanisims were so heavily shielded against picking that they were virtually air tight and could be blown open with a shot of air. It is my understanding now that all MB door locks will not be compromised at up to 10 bar (slightly over 145 psi) of pressure and you won't get that out of a tennis ball.

    It will work on some cars and it does not leave any marks on or damage to the lock mechanisim.

    Just spent 15 minutes in 24* weather trying this. It didn't open my 2001 Mustang, a 2004 Honda Accord or a 2002 Nissan Sentra.
    Exactly what cars does it work on, or is this an elaborate joke. thinking.gif [:D]

    It only works on cars that people want to steal [:)]. Seriously, it works on some cars and not on others and the only one way to find for sure out is to try it. Consider yourself lucky that it won't work on your Accord because those are some of the most popular cars with theives because the demand for Honda Accord parts is nearly limitless and they bring big money.

    That was what I was thinking.....[;)]

    Nice to know some punk could break into my car with a tennis ball, and steal my collection of classic 70's rock and Billie Holiday CD's, or better yet, the car itself, please....!....[:D]

    whats the point of worrying about this. being able to use a tennis ball is just another way. i still prefer a spring loaded center punch. or really low tech, a brick.

    if they want to steal something, they are going to take it. your car. your 60" plasma. anything. all this security does is change the amoutn of aggrevation caused in the process

    You may have to shave your ball to make it work. Just a suggestion.

    No, my friend, the question is;

    How badly does he want to get into his vehicle?

    Read ball, not balls.

    I'm not saying he doesn't have balls,,,,,,,,,,,,,,better shut up before I have to get someone to get me unshunned.

    If you don't have a tennis ball just stand your wife up there and kick her in the ass. [:D][:D][:D]

    like the saying goes, locks keep honest people honest


    try the ceramic from a spark plug trick, just a small piece will go through a car window, as if it wasn't there, i heard of this long time ago, one time i was at a junk yard, and give it a try, i was amazed, trajectory was as if there was no window

    found this one on youtube, when i did it there was very little sound

    I think the point of it was unlocking YOUR car if you lock the keys in it...my wife has done this so many times I have had to put keys everywhere just so she can get in...and yes she has locked the spare set in with the regular set before also.[B)]
