I'ma be honest, a wedge, a puffy bag, and a fancy stick is like $20 at every auto store and works just as well on those fancy doors as it does on keyed ones. If someone wants in they'll get in.

At least the electronic ones ostensibly can't be hotwired though, supposedly. Not sure how much I believe that though.
