It is true for some cars. Some of the newer Mercedes for instance have vacuum air locks (not mechanical motor). The locking mechanism pushes air through the system to pop the locks. I doubt it will work on older cars, but some of the new cars it will work on. ---

the only cars this will work on is cars that have the pnumatic locks that are directly connected to the lock cylinder said locks also have to be a pressure / unlock - vacuum / lock set up ---

i could have sworn that alot of the vw’s and audi’s had electric switches which activated the pump, which then activated the locks but i can no longer recall how the air lines were run to the lock. i want to say that a load of the ones i actualy got to play with had cams on the lock cylinder that tapped the switch, but like i said … ---
